Hi Guys,
A very good question. And even better answers. Yes, usually and normally are terms that don't carry a great deal of weight. What with special orders, salesman's "special" guns, big shots within the company wanting things a little different, new ideas being tried, and on and on............. you get the picture; what might be normal for say a G grade Parker may cover 99.9% of the G grades, but, there may very well be one out there with things that shouldn't appear on a G grade.
And not just Parkers, every manufacturer was guilty of building guns that "don't happen" or were "never made". And with the popularity of skeet shooting at the height of the Parker, I can see a person ordering a gun with the skeet chokes reversed from the norm. I don't always shoot the targets in the what would be considered the normal sequence. Perhaps there were shooters who shot reverse of the accepted norm as their style.
Just my 2 cents worth and another idea.
