Turnbull may have the roll mark die.

It's really quite a shame as the rest of the gun is done very well. I guess it is what it is right now. Jerry

Someone claims to be qualified to rematt the Parker pattern. It is either Turnbull or Central New York gunsmiths or Simmons. I just don't recall. I don't know if further restoration of this gun is wise.

Problem is I'm in the gun at
$1400.00 + now, that job would have to cost at least $500.00 or better, I might be chasing my tail. Still such a shame, it's a pretty gun. Jerry

Ed,Could the gun originally have been a beavertail? Or maybe a set of late Remington barrels? What do ya think....?

Default Trap Fore Ends

Ed; Dave; The first single barrel trap listed is 173803. I read Ed's 1915 gun as 17157?. I have a safety less live bird VHE 170789 that has a btfe with proper iron and loup.
Was Parker making SxS btfe traps before SBT's? The catalogs of the 1920's offer retrofits of trap fore ends, so any Parker might have one.
This is more and more interesting as a PP research article if we recieve some input.

Best, Austin
