A while back one of our members posted this hang-tag for a .410-bore --
235582 .410-bore, 2 1-2 inch, 3-8 ounce.jpg
It shows the 2 1/2 inch 3/8 ounce load. From the tables in the back of The Parker Story, this is the 206th .410-bore out of the 506 serial numbers listed.

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.

But, from the get-go Winchester offered a Model 42 Skeet Gun --
