Gary, some years back, I wrote an article for Parker Pages about the Parker trap gun. It was during Ron Kirby's editorship so was a number of years ago. I have one of the guns--G grade 12--and copies of two orders from Folsums for the guns. Interestingly enough, the last order also included shipment of "two molds". I believe Folsum may have funded building the trap butt mold. The guns were made in 10 and 12 gauge and primarily G grade with Damascus barrels. Other than the butt, there is absolutely no difference between a regular G and a trap G.
