Yup, Parker factory vent rib, sent out that way when first built. Our reference for serial numbers only addresses the automatic ejector option. A PGCA letter will possibly address other original options such as the beavertail forend and ventilated rib. We need at least one additional picture, that being a picture of the bottom of the barrels at the area where the forend attaching lug is and rearward. Another would be the front of the forend where there should be the head of a reinforcing screw. If you can talk Craig Libhart into working on your gun, let him do all woodwork, including the proper fixing of the stock head, the finishing, and the recoil pad installation. The attachment of the grip cap with many pins is a result of the person working on the stock not knowing how the cap was originally installed, which was not with a multitude of pins. Classy looking though.

We really haven't seen pictures of the forend checkering pattern from the sides and bottom. Don't worry, we won't get tired of giving you information or viewing your pictures. If you don't want to face the restoration of the wood parts of this Parker, you would have no trouble selling it in its present condition.

OK, here are the required pictures - I hope. If I missed something, let me know, and I'll take more.
I'm mailing the PGCA letter request today, and as soon as I can get the current butt plate off, I'll do the measurements of the actual wood. |

Yup, that is clearly the one-piece reinforced forend lug.

Looks all original Parker yo me. A genuine Silver's pad might be a good choice as well.
Best Regards, George |

I have an additional picture showing the top of the receiver, so I thought I'd add it. Don't know if it helps anything, but I figure it can't hurt.

When I was looking at the picture of the lug, I was creating an optical illusion in my mind. Yes, the beavertail forend was a factory installation. By the way, a double trigger Trap is a scarce combination. Most Traps were equipped with the Parker single trigger. By now, you should be getting private messages from people who would offer to purchase your gun. If you pay dues to the PGCA, you will save money on your letter and also have the privilege to offer your gun for sale on the Members section of the website.

Hi Bill. Thanks for the advice. FYI, I joined the PGCA a very short time ago, and mailed the research letter request yesterday.
You are right on the purchase offers. I'm already hearing from other members, and I haven't even listed it for sale. I've really been impressed by the number of members that have jumped in to advise me on the gun. I'm wrestling with whether to keep it as a family heirloom or just sell it. I'm 69-years-old, and if anything happens to me, my wife won't have a clue of how to dispose of it - and my several other guns. If anyone you know might have an interest in the Parker, please point them in my direction. Here are my contact options: Wayne Clifton Pittsburgh, PA Home - 412-488-3030 Cell - 412-551-5910 |
