I think it is because you have less of a chance to get your finger wacked by the fwd trigger when you use the rear@

I have had that brought up before but have never heard of anyone getting hit with the forward trigger.

Robert,
The explanation that Danny gives is the same as the authors of TPS. Page 136 of volume one indicates that in 1926 Parker advertised the articulating front trigger as available on grades AH and above but that the records show a few guns as low as DH were made with this feature. It is also noted that to replace the standard trigger with the articulated trigger was a simple matter and some guns may have been change by the factory at the customer’s request. TPS considers this a very rare item so you are very lucky to have this option on your Parker.
