1917 Parker Single Barrel Trap

[Casey Clark]

I have a Parker single barrel trap gun that I was looking to get some info on. The gun has a 32" barrel, the choke is a modified choke. SN# is 1774XX. Here are some pictures of the gun. Any information on this gun will be appreciated! Thanks

very nice gun...charlie

Looks in such high condition that it may be refinished. It probably is, because the wide screw slots and misaligned screws kind of give it away. It is one nice single barrel. A PGCA letter may link the gun to a known competition shooter. $40.00 is not much to get that information. There are more than a few single barrel collectors reading this forum.

what grade is that gun?
where is the grade marked?

[edgarspencer]

It looks to be a higher grade. The case colors look too new for the wear on the checkering.

It's an early SC trap gun. The early SC's had floral engraving instead of the pigeon on the floor plate. Receiver has cyanide case colors.

I have never seen a rib inscription like that one.

Thanks for the response everyone, another thing that I have found that may be different is that this is a modified choke instead of a full choke.

My SBT SC ss# 177853 looks similar to the one in question. Same style engraving. My gun has very little case color though.

Does that say MADE IN USA on the rib? The book lists it as 32'' bbl and straight stock so that hasn't been messed with.
