I don't see any reference to being specifically designed for shooting "trap doubles" in the '37 catalog.
It is formally called "Parker Double Barrel Trap Gun" rather than Double Trap. It is preceeded in the catalog by the "Parker Skeet Gun" and followed by the "Parker Single Barrel Trap Gun".
The Catalog states it was 12ga only and chambered for 2 3/4" shells. SST and BTFE were standard. Hawkin Pad was standard, option of any other make of pad. 30 or 32 inch barrels, both full choke, option of any other barrel length or boring. Ivory bead front and rear, red bead if desired. Non automatic safety standard , auto safety optional,
CPG stock standard, straight or half pistol grip optional. Standard dimensions 14 3/8" LOP, 1 7/8 DAH", 1 1/2" DAC. Any other stock measurement including cheek piece, monte carlo or cast off could be made.
A Remington built gun that has the above features would be a "Double Trap"
There were many double barrel guns ordered and built for trapshooting before this was marketed.
