Curtiss may have been making reference to an actual Parker .410 "Skeet Gun" as being the first. Do we know if the Ithaca in reference was a true Skeet gun rather than simply a field grade?

Ithaca didn't actually catalog a "Skeet Gun" until their 1935 catalog, but they did advertise guns for Skeet as early as July 1926.
