It's just speculation, but my thinking is that this gun was made up as a "presentation/prize" type of gun and ordered by some organisation. Possibly for the winner of some prestigious shoot. That's why it would be so much fun to trace its heritage.
One reason I say this is the over-large stock oval. While probably done at Parker, it's about twice the size of a standard D oval. Just right for some dedication to be engraved to the winner of a tourney.
