I wonder how many Parker guns were built as "skeet guns" from the ground up and how many became "skeet guns" later? Did Remington pull a gun from inventory and make it into a "skeet gun" when an order came in? I've recorded two 1-frame 16-gauges that are marked SKEET IN/SKEET OUT that have two date codes stamped on their barrel flats. Likewise, many guns I've seen marked SKEET IN/SKEET OUT have several repair codes on the barrel flats. A lot to speculate, and very few facts with the thin Remington era record information.
