SA1 Special Trap Guns

[John Davis]

Available information indicates that there were four SA1 Special SBT's produced. We have identified three of them as follows: SN - 194680; 228331; and 241615. I am now trying to determine the SN of number 4. If anyone has any information concerning missing number 4, please contact me. Thanks, John

John, I assume the appendix at the back of TPS doesn't identify A-1 singles, since the Serialization Book doesn't identify high grade singles. However, it's worth a look. Did you score the latest A-1 single? I just don't remember. I can't remember why I didn't bid on it, "money" I guess.

I wish! Unfortunately not me😪

In my very cursory review thus far of the Serialization book, and looking through these old threads I find the following. Indeed as John has stated above, the following known SA1's are 194680, 228331, and 241615 (of course, 241615 is not in the serialization book, however it is pictured in the "Grades" section of the website). On page 63 of the Serialization book it lists 194680 as the first Grade 8 Single Barrel Trap Gun, but it lists 186943 as the first SA1. I have confirmed that 186943 is listed as the following....


186943 SA1 H 2 M 12 34


What a dandy!!! Monte Carlo Stock and 34" Barrels!! Where is this beauty hiding!!!

The next SA1 I find in the Serialization book in addition to those listed above is 199218. It is as follows.


199218 SA1 H 2 S 12 32


199218 is the only additional SA1 I have found thus far. So my question is this, if you add up those (2) additional guns does that mean there are actually 5 SA1 SBT's?????

I am sure that there are many members here who would LOVE to see more of this beauty! And would LOVE to hear the story of how you became the caretaker of such a rare and fine Parker. (include me in that group)!! If you so desire!

[John Davis]

I second Scott’s motion.

See attachment my father passed away in 09 and I inherited part of his collection. He called this one his goose gun. I’m looking to see what it’s worth is ?

[John Davis]

Beautiful SBT. Not sure about the stock.

[Kenneth Son]

what does SBT stand for and the A1S on the gun it self ?

[Reggie Bishop]

SBT= Single Barrel Trap. A1S is the grade. Which happens to be the highest grade available at the time.

I love the Unicorn.

Kenneth,
You stated earlier that the barrel measured 32". Are you certain? The Parker Identification & Serialization shows that the gun had 34" barrels. The book could be incorrect. A Parker Letter may resolve that question.

Also, the forend iron shows a "2" under the serial number. Would that indicate that there were 2 barrels with the gun?

I was thinking it might have been a two barrel SA-1 as well .
