I would agree with David's opinion except I would hazard to say the vast majority of Parker ordered for pigeon ring use over the years had splinter fore ends. Non-automatic safeties and flat ribs are also when combined with other features indicative of a pigeon (or trap) gun.Today a "pigeon gun" is a phrase sellers use to tout a double gun without a factory safety. Apparently, it has some cachet. Parker introduced its AA grade with Whitworth steel barrels and engraved on the rib was "Pigeon Gun"...agin this was merely a descriptive rather than a definitive term.
