Default Early Trap Guns

Does anyone know how many of these guns were produced. HD Folsom advertised these guns in 1884 and again in 1889, they were touted as superior to the regular parker gun probably BS, but they came with a pigeon butt plate .I think some were made in 10ga and 12ga.It would be interesting if any members or visitors to this site would let me know if they own one of these guns, a lot of people were not aware of there existance. I have heard that 100 12ga and 100 10ga guns were built. to be distributed by Folsom. Were any hammer guns like this made? If you have documentation showing number and gauges made please share this with me, I want to put together an article for Parker Pages on this subject. Thanks in advance Gary
