Default Parker Trojan info needed!

New member here, recently picked up a Parker Trojan, built in 1921on a 2 frame , those are the things I do know, what I am curious about are the other markings,
on the water table I have the serial number and the grade as OV, what is OV?
The barrels have
(OV) (HT) (3 15) (12)
A B 2

I know the 3 15 B is the barrel weight, but not sure what the other markings are.

I used the primative credit card trick for chamber length and it measures the same as my other 2 3/4 12's. I know its not exact but I will be shooting RST 2 1/2 out of it, if I can find a gun smith here downeast I'll stop in and confirm the 2 3/4 chambers. Any help would be great!
thanks guys!

Well, that's about as Downeast as you can get. How are the woodcock numbers?

Very good for resident birds, the pointer loves them! A few small flights have come and past but the big flights I havent seen yet, hopefully soon the weather just started turning, as of last week we still had a few moments in the upper 60's low 70's.
