I think this is another case of 'never say never' with regard to Parker.
The April, 2017 Julia auction sold a Three Bead 20 gauge, albeit a Grade 8, and then again, in October, they sold a Three Bead 20 gauge, also shown on the back page of the current PP.
I am worn out hefting Julia catalogs, but I also recall a 3 bead 28ga. and then there's the A-1 Special 28ga with three beads, so frame size probably wasn't a limitation to the filer.
Allen, I think Remington can legitimately still call it a Parker, since, if I'm not mistaken, they still own the name. Why they chose to add a "P" in front of the serial number must have been their idea of differentiating the new gun from the 1940s.
