Here's my thought on this. It was ordered for inventory at Marshall Fields and General Bradford who was a customer of Alex Kerr wanted something special in a small bore trap/skeet gun with all the options and perhaps nicer than a grade 2. Seeing this was the only thing available Parker might have directed Alex Kerr to Marshall Field to obtain the gun and from there it's anybody's guess as who did what to it.
Either way at the end of the day it's a unique Parker that after several owners and 70+ years of service is still asking more questions than it ansers.
