A true Parker Skeet gun should have had reverse chokes to the best of my knowledge. This one does not.

Pretty early for a factory skeet gun. The skeet markings were probably applied when the Remington Repair Codes were stamped. None of this reduces the value of a great gun.

I should think with a single selective trigger that’s a moot point . Besides what they claimed as skeet in and skeet out are a heck of a lot tighter than what would fill that bill today .

In addition a true Parker Skeet Gun should also have a non automatic safety.
