Bob, Folsom ordered large numbers of guns from Parker, They somehow managed to have their own butt plate put on some of the guns The 12ga guns have the pigeon flying to the left the 10 gauge guns have the pigeon flying to the right, I have a Folsom Trap gun it is a 16gauge with 38" Barrels, Like Dean says they are pretty scarce, Gary

I've hefted that gun and it handles well, though I don't know where it balances.

Being a 1 or 2 frame gun helps a lot , not having a dogs hind leg for a stock also helps . But try it with a 4-7 frame that 36” plus weighs over 10 pounds and has a dogs hind leg for a stock . Balance isn’t generally one of the words that comes to mind .
