Sorry Bill, I haven't checked this thread since I posted and didn't realize you had asked a question. I think it was you who pointed out on the Parker site that T.H. Keller of New York, New York was a professional shooter. That DH was shipped to him in 1903.

One thing to consider is that some people might prefer to shoot the rear trigger first, so they may order a set up whereby they can fire the right (more open choke) first. Some people have a tendancy to raise their head when they go from the front trigger to the rear thus shortening the length of pull. The opposite tenadancy is to bear down on the stock with your cheek when you go from the rear trigger to the front thus lengthening the length of pull. I'm not surprised a pro had this done, it makes sense that they would have a firm grasp on their shooting form and took corrective measures.

Just my observation for what it is worth.

My son in law has an early A grade with reversed triggers. I always assumed it would be a simple matter to reverse them.
