Let us see some Folsom ordered trap guns
Here are some photo's of a 12g a 30" barreled 'TRAP' gun ordered by Folsom. Note the barrel steel is not engraved on the rib, also note the flying pigeon butt plate which was only used on guns ordered by Folsom for guns designated as Trap, I believe Folsom sent the mold to Parker for these butt plates. The barrels are laminated as called out in the letter, and is so stamped on the barrel flats. The gun is a one frame. I wish I had photo's of this gun before brads restoration, I started to sell it as a parts gun but with the unique features decided to save it, and I am glad she has been brought back to life, Thanks Brad for your work on this gun. Fellows I bought this gun at a gun show several years ago for 200.00 The reason was its terrible condition and the dealer said someone has changed the buttplate and it was not original to the gun it did not take me long to give him two hundred dollars, I knew the plate was Folsom. NEVER ! walk by an old Parker regardless of condition with out giving her a good look see! Tank You Gary
