Where is number 170703? An interesting history

[Dean Romig]

I wouldn't be so quick to say "not a Parker original, from what I can tell". It wouldn't surprise me in the least to find out this was a special order forend. Send for a PGCA Research Letter on that serial number... you may be surprised.

Sir,
I agree with what Mr Romig said. Do not be too quick to dismiss this as Parker or not. I have one even stranger than that one. Look in the picture with the Babe. The gun next to the man holding yours has the same type of forearm. Look closely. Trap shooters wanted anything that would give them the edge.
Very cool piece and history. Thank you for sharing.
