As I recall, The Parker Story does discuss the 20 gauge single traps. A couple are identifed by serial number. Average 20 gauge singles are rarer than "just five". One of the 20s is a 34" gun and one is a Cutts gun. That leaves three standard singles in 20 gauge. There is some discussion that some if not all of the 20 gauge singles may be sleeved guns. At least one factory .410 Parker is a sleeved gun, so it is not hard to believe that one or more of the 20 gauge singles may be too.

The article Jeff refers to is in the Winter 2011 Double Gun Journal. It is authored by my shooting buddy and neighbor, Tom Breeden, who co-authored my article on John Phillip Sousa's famous Diamond Grade Daly single in the latest DGJ. For our information, there may be more twenty gauge Parker singles, since there are more than 3000 numbers missing from the stock books, right in the middle of the short period of known twenty gauge singles.

So then a Parker SB 20 gauge Trap may be more rare then an LC Smith double 8 gauge ?
Did Parker make many double 20 gauge Trap guns ?
