Fellow shooters. Our club has a recent two day PITA trap shoot. I was busy as a board member helping run the shoot, but I noted a older shooter shooting a SBT, I noted the hinge pin and thought, " that is a Parker" Later I approached him and indeed it was , looked like a 28', didn't get the grade, but he said it was manufactured in 1907?, but had a 6 digit serial number. Nice gun, first one I have ever seen. I have two Parker GH's but as my wife and I shoot a lot of trap, always wanted a Parker SBT, at least I have seen one!

1907 would be a little early. I'm headed out to the Atlanta Spring Classic shoot this morning. 200 single 16's. I'll be shooting my SB and I'm fairly certain she will be the only vintage SBT, much less a Parker, on the grounds. Wish me luck.

John- you might be surprised on Parker SBTs. At our little trap range here in Spirit Lake Iowa (home of Fred Gilbert, Johnnie Jahn, Bob Allen) There are three SBTs, all Parker SCs. They are out there and they don't live in closets. Jeff

Well, the SB won Class B. She actually beat all the classes and was one target away from runner up to HOA. Which I guess is kind of like kissing your cousin.
