"Do any of these early SBTs have the finger grooves on the sides of the forearms as shown in the early SBT ads?"
That's a great question. I've been looking at the Parker SBT's for about 48 years less than Bill, but I haven't run across one yet either.

From The American Shooter, April 7, 1917 --
The American Shooter, April 7, 1917.jpeg Maybe the mythical A.W. DuBray gun had the finger grooves. |

That single with the finger grooves must be out there somewhere.

Dave I have been looking at Parker single barrel traps since the 1973 and have never come across one with the finger groove forend. I would be willing to bet there is one out there somewhere. The hunt continues.

Is there a single barrel in the DuBray list? I'm sure he got one of the first singles.
