1917 Parker Single Barrel Trap

[John Thomson]

Thanks for the information. My other two Parkers are side by sides and I only understood that the single was a C grade where the two other guns are stamped DH and VH. Neither of those guns have ejectors as one is from 1907 and one from 1918 per your website serial number list.

Tom, does your floor plate have the pigeon?

Two Parkers from my single barrel trap collection. SC serial # 217551 lettered 1926 and SB serial # 190084 lettered 1924...

No, that gun does not have the pigeon.

#178667 has the screw,no pigon and T on barrel flat.

The screw apparently was discontinued at 179,000 or before. We don't know when the scroll stopped and the pigeon appeared. The pigeon is a nice addition, but the scroll guns are more interesting. Has anyone seen a Parker single with the finger grooves like in the ad? I have not seen a gun with that feature in 55 years of fooling with Parkers.

The birds engraved on my SC SBT appear to be "schmoes" to me. Remember schmoes? Al Cap. What do the pigeons look like?

"later entry" No SBT has no birds engraved anywhere. I was thinking of my GH.

An SBT is on my wish list and almost picked up one at the Vegas Show but a Lifter caught my eye, and wallet, instead as hammers are my first passion. Another is old magazines. Here is an ad for the SBT from 1917. Cheers JG
