I haven't either. But as they say "you never say no they didn't do that if it is a Parker" and that ad just proves the point.

Keep in mind that it is an artist's rendition, not a photograph.

The ad is from the middle of the year 1917, may have just been the first design for Parker to advertise to the public...

I was thinking the same thing as soon as i saw that. Never physically seen an example. And i dont think there was a forend like that pictured in a formal Parker catalog. I may be wrong on that though.

This ad is from 1919. In 1917, Fred Gilbert took delivery of a Parker SBT SN 180116



I had a 1918 SC with a straight stock and no FE grove.
