A Parker gun discounted is an investment. Obviously Mr. Pumpelly was a shooter of note and was in contact with other serious shooters who would probably, on his recommendation, order a Parker - hence the discount.

Bob,
Does your gun have a safety? If so does the letter mention it to be non-automatic? Like Dean says with a discount like that and the dimensions of your gun it would be reasonable to think it was sold to a pretty serious pigeon shooter.

The gun was sent back to have safety removed. I had one reinstalled because it was evident that gun was made with one.

I'm looking to get wood refinished and new pad, maybe after hunting season.

I think the knurled triggers were most often seen on trap guns regardless of grade.My VHE 12ga.32"single trigger vent rib trap gun has a factory knurled trigger.

"knurled" now that's a pretty word . . . is it Polish?

It had a factory removed safety that lettered as such and you had it put back on? Being a fan of pigeon type guns I'd consider that a sin before the Almighty. Robert Robert.....

Destry, it was shipped with a safety, then sent back to have it removed. Looked like it needed a safety.
I wouldn't think of changing it if it came that way.
Still have the insert.
