Craig, I have an Ithaca Minier model that I believe has the prototype Infallible Trigger for his 1907 patent. It is a grade 4 (non ejector) that has some extra engraving and the floor plate is engraved with his name and provenance. The gun has no safety and was probably used as his pigeon gun(IC/F chokes). I have letters from Ithaca and Walter Snyder on this gun. At the same time he also purchased a field grade in same configuration but M/F and his testimonial is listed in Ithaca catalogs, 1915 I believe. I found this gun in a shop outside Lancaster Pa many years ago at an asking price less than a case of shells. I have used it at tower shoots but it now sits idle as it is one of the only shotgun's I own that has a documented history. It appears that whoever engraved his name on your Parker also did my Ithaca.
