Default DelGrego Skeet Gun Conversion

I have the opportunity to purchase a 12 ga. Skeet Gun “converted” from another Parker by DelGrego. The serial number dates the gun as a 1918 VHE, but the gun, with 28” barrels, is now in Skeet trim, with vent rib, twin triggers, marked SkeetIn/SkeetOut, straight grip stock and beaver tail forend. I cannot date the conversion.

Would such a gun be allowable in Parker competitions?

Thank you.

Yes. Can we see pictures of your skeet gun, with close shots of the vent rib? Thanks.

Gentlemen: Thank you for your replies. I will try and obtain a picture of the rib - it does appear to be a Parker rib in comparison with other Parker ribs I have seen. It is certainly not a Simmons or other aftermarket.
