Russ, That's a wonderful gun. We know that HD Folsom ordered many of these guns with the "Trap" butt plate on them. I suspect they were long barreled 12's and 10's and that the special butt treatment was a sales pitch to sway buyers who were looking for a dedicated trap gun. As we all know trap shooting in that era was as big as major league baseball if not bigger and everyone wanted a piece of the pie.
