Some time ago on another thread I had posted on this subject. Dave S from CT has it right.
Frank Parmalee, a high average competition shooter from Nebraska ordered his Parker's sans Dolls-Head, and he was quoted in the early gunning pulps concerning his preference of Not having that particular obstruction when loading and unloading. Below are a few top images of a Parker DH from about the same time period Frank would have ordered his "No Safety-No Dolls head" Parker. This particular DH shown below spent some time in the Pacific Northwest, and if I remember correctly, it now resides in Maryland...
Best, CSL
