Yeah, the condition of the gun looks to be very good. Hard to tell on the amount of case color, but all else looks to be excellent. What is most important is that the gun is not messed with or altered. A lot of Single Barrel Traps were messed with, a lot.

Thats great to know guys! It looks amazing to me, but don't know all the stuff. J.T. Irick was my grandpa's, dads cousin. He had a saddle and tack business in Casper, WY around 1930s. My Grandpa had a saddle and tack business in Craig,CO.

Stub, I will definitely take your advice about the loads and will up date about the rounds.

Thanks everyone for the info!

Great to see your Parker SBT... One of the nicest original C grade single barrel trap guns that I have seen in many years of collecting these fine old shotguns. You should take it to your club a few times a year for a few rounds
of trap...

best regards,

I don't want to discourage you from getting a letter however you won't find out who originally ordered the gun because that information is contained in the order books and they ended in 1919. Your information would come from the last stock book and it will only give you the grade, barrel length, and price.

BTW, great gun!

Wonderful inheritance. PE (P = June, E = 1936) probably indicates when the barrel was made. CF3 (C = April, F = 1937, 3 = repair) indicates a repair made to the gun. Unfortunately most all repair records from that era no longer exist.

I hunted Sage Grouse around Craig, Colorado, in 1970.

Wonderful area.

That's one sweet looking trap gun, and to have the family provenance along with it is simply the best! Congrats, and enjoy it!

Super nice gun, has some transition features. Very difficult to find real clean SBT's. Shoot lite trap loads and you will have a BLAST !! Mark

Mark, what do you mean when you say "has some transition features"?
