1917 Parker Single Barrel Trap

[Bill Murphy]

The screw apparently was discontinued at 179,000 or before. We don't know when the scroll stopped and the pigeon appeared. The pigeon is a nice addition, but the scroll guns are more interesting. Has anyone seen a Parker single with the finger grooves like in the ad? I have not seen a gun with that feature in 55 years of fooling with Parkers.

The birds engraved on my SC SBT appear to be "schmoes" to me. Remember schmoes? Al Cap. What do the pigeons look like?

"later entry" No SBT has no birds engraved anywhere. I was thinking of my GH.

Yup, Steve's SC has no birds to critique. The "T" on the barrel flats indicate the the barrel is Titanic Steel. The "JG" is the barrel maker, Jim Geary. The "3 6" is the barrel weight. The "12" is the gauge. The "A" and the "S" I don't know.

Thanks for the info. I'm going to have to see if I can get a letter. If so, I'll frame it. I shoot my SBT often. It is my go to trap gun. It shoots high as a cat's back. I let the bird "float".
