#4 was built as a grade PT, meaning grade P (referring to the level of engraving) with Twist steel barrels, 30" long from the factory according to the serialization book. So if they are shorter, they have been cut, as is likely the case with the Skeet/Skeet designation. OR, if that is a Remington repair code, they could be factory added. It has been restocked and re case hardened with the barrels blued (browned originally) and the SST added, aftermarket. All would appear to be well done. As a frame of reference, an unaltered similiar gun in good condition would likely fall in the $700 to $1000 range. (a 30" PT grade gun)
An actual original Skeet Parker is a much rarer item, and would command significantly more.
The damascus/twist guns can be shot, recommended using low pressure loads (such as RST). Again an in-hand inspection by a competent gunsmith would be a good idea to check things like barrel wall thickness, chamber length. A good looking gun certainly worth having it checked out and with the finishes, and upgrades it really creates it's own draw as a unique shooter. There are surviving factory records for your gun, so it would be worth requesting a letter per the link on the home page.
