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
