Brian, the "Trap Gun" buttplate was from the hammer gun era, not used in later guns. The "Trap Gun" of later times is shown in the 1937 Remington-Parker catalog. This is their actual trap gun with all the features, not just add ons. I am not sure if the "Trap Gun" was mentioned in earlier pocket catalogs. Mr. Clark's gun is a normal field style Parker missing the features of a double trap. With the straight stock, it could have easily been ordered by a trapshooter to shoot his game, either competitively or casually. It is in the serial number range when fully optioned trap guns were made.
