A skeet gun would have shorter barrels. 26" was by far the most popular barrel length for a skeet gun of that era, however 28" barrels are not unknown. On the other hand, 32" barrels would have been considered a serious handicap in skeet shooting.

The name of "Skeet" was only given to that game of shotgun shooting in 1926 and Parker Bros. was not building and/or advertising 'skeet guns' until 1929 or so.
