So close yet so far. I wonder how there can be a gap of only a couple og guns with no data.

Thanks for looking Bill.

[QUOTE=Dave Suponski;14989]Gentlemen,This is a great discussion.We know that prior to the introduction of the single trigger(first offered in the 1922 catalog)the vent rib on double guns(1923)the trap forend(catalog offering1926)Parker produced many guns that were used at the traps.

Hi Dave,
I was curious if there were many guns delivered with these options prior to the catalog dates that you listed above. My father showed me an interesting 1 7/8 DOH, Straight grip, 34" VH where the factory "Trap Forend" pre-dates the 1926 catalog. Was this common?

How many of you gents have guns with Trap characteristics that pre-date the Parker catalog offerings? I think these guns could have very interesting letters. These are the early guns that I would think were ordered by trap shooters.

Patrick

Pat,Parker would retrofit guns with trap forends and vent ribs.We know of several documented guns that were refitted.
