Not to say that this applies in this case but I would guess that people were working on and "restoring" parker guns since production stopped and probably before as well. We have seen from letters that Parker would take guns in and rework them, ditto Remington, even using aftermarket components or subcontractors. Others were likely up to the same, some reputable some less so. I hope the letter sheds some light on it but regardless thats a nice 16ga with known provenance.
