1917 Parker Single Barrel Trap

Titanic Steel. I don't know exactly when the Acme Steel started. Our Research Committee would know from entries in the 1917 and 1918 stock books. The order books will not give up that information.

Bill, yes I would also hope to find an A grade for less than my estimate. It is on the high side. But due to their rarity a nice one may bring that price range. Sure I would like to add one in the $9K to 10 range. Did you see the one where they were asking $16000

Best Regards,
RD

$16,000 is a bit of a stretch.

Randy, I'm not sure I am familiar with that one.

Bill, I sent you a link

Chuck/Bill et al. ,

I always thought it was the early (1917) guns that had the access screw on top of the frame? Would be interesting to pin down the ser.# range when that feature was introduced/curtailed.

OK, 177,741 has the screw.

Steve,

The records don't show when Parker changed the design of the firing pin on the SBT. The Parker Story shows 185608 with the screw on the right side of the frame to access the pin and that was 1919.

It would be good for the Parker Pages First & Last Found section. Latest S/N found for a SBT with screw access to firing pin.

I used to own 180115 SC SBT. A 32" straight grip gun and it had the screw.
