Lovely engraving, are there similar Parker engraved guns? The Parker Bros looks a little different to most, but I’m no expert. Interesting that it’s said to be choked skeet in and skeet out.. on a gun made in 1920. However he doesn’t show any of the markings..

Interested to hear how the experts react!

Where are the pics of the barrel flats and the water table?

The "SKEET IN" and "SKEET OUT" stamps, if they really exist, would ruin any collector value IMHO.

Dean, could a gun have gone to Remington for choke work and have been stamped at that time?

Never say never but without any Remington records of it (and there aren't any) it is wide open to anyone's interpretation as to how or why it was stamped that way.

A standard Parker Skeet gun would (should) have a single selective trigger, a beavertail forend, twin ivories (maybe) at the least...

Beautiful gun. Lots of flowers. I love to have the opportunity to see these guns in detail. Without taking anything away from the wood on this gun, it provides a reference for how good the wood is on so many reproductions.

No records, too bad. Someone should ask Leroy if the skeet marks are stamped. Not an ugly gun.

Garry,
I'm happy it only has 26" barrels! Otherwise ?
