Never. There are a lot of clues to support that.

Not original IMO. Here is a correct B, of course there will be variables.

I would upload more pictures when I can. Thanks all for the input.


Sorry, Brian, I am confused by your response. Are you saying that could never be a Parker BTFE? I am skeptical on the originality of the BTFE in question, hence my post here. I don't think it is original, but I am not very experienced when it comes to early BTFE's. The gun originally had a BTFE, it is a Trap Grade gun, and has the reinforced forend loop.


I appreciate the help.


Thank you,



Bobby

Yes. I am saying that forend would not be original. Never any chance. It does not even appear that the gun was originally a btfe gun. Just a splinter gun that the currebt wood was put on.
