DHE Special Skeet ?

[Eric Welch]

Good afternoon. I am looking for some expert insight on my gun. Is it a "Special Skeet"? I was hoping the letter would provide a little more detail. I have seen Hawkins pads that I believe to be factory, but I don't know about this one. Any help is sincerely appreciated. -Eric

Wow!

You have a very nice Parker grade 3 16 gauge skeet gun. Proper skeet markings are on the barrel flats. Since the letter doesn't mention the pad most would say it was added which deducts from the value. The 28" barrels are not found as frequently on Parker skeet guns as 26". Your gun is rare and appears to be in fantastic original condition. Parker didn't use the terminology "special skeet" but your gun is very special!
