Thank you Mr. Dean.
Here is what Richard Skeuse replied to me regarding that question based on a label found in the case of my repro:

Hi Don. I have no idea where that label came from, however as I said previously I’m not sure how many P numbered Parker Reproductions were made. I can assure you that there were not 4-5. Numbers started at P 001 I assume but that information was lost in hurricane Floyd. You have the 420th or so that was made. That is all I can tell you about the gun. Thanks

I believe all of the P guns are 20 gauges and that there are 500 of them.
