We know that a few Parker Reproductions were available and purchased with custom chokings, such as the gun Mr. Jay mentions above, I know of a few others. These guns with special custom chokes or features, generally speaking, were in some way connected with the Skeuse's.
It has been speculated here in this forum that there were 25 20ga. 28" guns factory choked IC/M. It has also been previously speculated that there were 50 of them produced! If there are indeed 25 to 50 of them existence, why then do we never seem to see any of these come to market? Oh, there have been less than a handful that I've come across through several decades of interest, but each and every one has something about them that just doesn't look righteous in my eyes.
Here are a couple of examples of 20ga. Repros with 28" bbls. and IC/M choke stampings (the top is a 20/16 bi-gauge set) that I'm left with questions about their true righteousness and originality:
