Default DH 12 Skeet?

Does anyone have any info on a DH 12 ser# 137021 ?
I'm considering purchasing. The gun does not have a safety, leading me to believe that it is a Skeet gun. There is no slot on rear tang for a safety to be installed. The gun is in beautiful condition.
Any help is deeply appreciated.

A 137000 range Parker predates the game of skeet by many years. How long are the barrels now?

They appear to be 30" I did not have a tape measure on
me when I had the gun in hand. The gun is for sale
at a gun shop in the Seattle area. I will be seeing it again
on Friday.

An safety delete gun would be considered a "live bird" or pigion gun. Or in other words an early trap gun. I do not think a safety delete was a popular skeet op option.

So this gun talked me into bringing it home. It was so lonely just handing there
at the bottom of that wall, no other Parkers in sight anywhere. I didn't want it to rust away in all that Seattle rain.

Thanks Russ.
When I knew that I was going up to Rainville I started checking on various gun sales sites. I found a couple of places around Seattle that had Parkers on them.
By the time I got up there, they were all gone. After some questions to locals, I found this place. The rest is history.
