BTW: A BTFE on a Parker A1S double SN171598 in 1915??

Parker sure had a wide variety of styles when it came to BTF's. I have guns with big wide flat ones and some are much slimmer. One of the nicest ones just filled your hand and was on a GHE 16 skeet gun.

I have a 1915 safetyless DHE with the reinforced forend loop for the BTFE, but it wears a splinter forend. Did the reinforced forend loop come before the BTFE?

I think the reinforced loop was developed for the BTF. Could your gun have been refitted with the splinter? Is it in the serialization book?

Correct me if I'm wrong - wasn't John Dunkle's great-grandfather's AAHE Double Trap the first Parker to be made with a BTFE?
It currently has both its original BTFE and its original splinter forend.
