What makes a skeet gun a skeet gun?

[J.B. Books]

Looking at the serial number of the gun for sale it is in the serial number range where the skeet in, skeet out markings were in use for factory built specifically defined/advertised skeet gun. However it looks a lot like a "skeet gun".

In my mind a true "skeet" gun would be factory marked with those choked designations. Scotts former VHE was choked full and full and was marked skeet in and skeet out so a full choke would not be reason to not stamp the barrels, would it?

I don't think the gun in question is a "factory skeet gun" technically speaking.
However the purpose of what a gun is ordered for can be different than how Parker marketed a gun.

Scott does have good point, all factory skeet guns I have seen had the open barrel, skeet in on the left which would be another defining feature.
