I have never been able to find a list of the gun used each year to win the Grand American Handicap. When I've been able to find the gun used I've added it to my chart of winners. The only two Parker Bros. wins I've noted was E.C. Griffith in 1901 and Woolfolk Henderson in 1914, both before the SBT. From Charles Larson in 1917 to Don Englebry in 1945 Ithaca SBTs had 11 wins. I've recorded five wins with L.C. Smith SBTs and four with their doubles.

The early Parker Bros. SBTs had a firing pin access screw with lock screw on the right side of the standing breech.  Later Parker Bros. SBTs got a hammer with integral firing pin like the hammerless doubles.

Bill S., your statement about the inside of a Parker single needs pictures. In fifty years of shooting ten or twelve Parker singles, I've never needed to look inside one. Even Bill Mullins and his crew, in discussing Parker singles, mentioned that they had not dismantled one to check it out.

Eightbore When I recieved my SC the barrel had some rust, the action had rust or a heavy coat of floor varnish, the stock had the same heavy varnish. It was so heavy you could not see the checkering . Thats why I had the gun apart. Inside the action it looked like it had been machined for two hammers as in a normal double but the only hammer was on the right side. That hammer was highly modified (jury rigged) to hit the single primer in the center of the action.Today the gun is together and looks normal except for case color. That color disapeared in rust removal.
