B Grade Beavertail

[B. Dudley]

Never. There are a lot of clues to support that.

Not original IMO. Here is a correct B, of course there will be variables.

I would upload more pictures when I can. Thanks all for the input.


Sorry, Brian, I am confused by your response. Are you saying that could never be a Parker BTFE? I am skeptical on the originality of the BTFE in question, hence my post here. I don't think it is original, but I am not very experienced when it comes to early BTFE's. The gun originally had a BTFE, it is a Trap Grade gun, and has the reinforced forend loop.


I appreciate the help.


Thank you,



Bobby

Welcome Bobby. Here's another B with some suttle variations from the first one.

Bobby, does it have the reinforced forend lug like this?

Hi John,


Yes it does. I am familiar with that forend loop, as I mentioned in a previous post. I will send pictures as soon as I can tonight.

Oh, and I did shoot it yesterday and it was a pleasure to shoot. It's a grinder for sure.............I am hoping it is my new doubles gun.


Thanks,


Bobby

Now you're talking. So we know it originally had a BTF.

Doubles gun, now you've really got my attention. Please give the specifics on this Parker. And looking forward to more pics.
