My 12 gauge full/full 32" VHE vent rib,single trigger,non automatic safety,trap forend and rubber butt was built in 1927. It is a documented trap gun. I think the confusion starts when people believe that if a style of gun is not in the catalog when that particular gun was built than it's not original.
Parker Bros. were building guns with many of these options before they were listed in catalogs.As an example.Trap model forends were being fitted to existing guns as early as the 1923 catalog.
