Rich,
I said it was uncommon because of the year, then the gauge, then lastly the grade. I THINK Parker started offering BT forends in either 1923 or 1925. These were Trap forends in the beginning and I would say mostly 12ga in this time frame. There are numerous examples of earlier guns with BT forends where some of the factory letters describe "Trap forend" on the order. If someone was ordering a 20ga skeet in 1925 I would have expected ejectors, single trigger, etc. That was the thinking behind my comment.
