Yes Gary I have heard of them and have examined a Grade 6 Pigeon gun with this feature but I have always believed this one was done by J. A. Prechtel of Cleveland, OH who had trained with LeFever but later set up his own shop. He was a highly skilled gunmaker as you can see by his SBT that appeared at a shoot in Cleveland in 1897.... but maybe the work was done by Parker Bros. - There is no record either way.
I took a trip to Texas to examine the gun back around 2011 or so.
I have written an entire article on this Parker and the millionaire shipping magnate who ordered it along with many, many pictures. I had intended to publish it in Double Gun Journal but unfortunately the pictures taken by a professional and supplied by the owner of the gun were not able to be published by Daniel so I will submit it to Parker Pages someday.
It is an amazing Parker with some amazing provenance, as you will see.
