Yep, did that exactly, no results, just a blank page. I think it's a popup blocker on this damn computer. Grrrr.

Right, but I have no proof of that. Typically when a noted seller describes a gun as "Skeet and Skeet" we can usually surmise that this is how it came to be so-choked.

Unless it's stamped Skeet/Skeet.

Even then, it's far from a guaranteed. Even I have many sets of stamps, as did Delgrego, and others. A true skeet gun from the factory almostt always had a checkered butt. That's not to say it couldn't be ordered otherwise. Even reputable sellers like Jaquas can be judicious with the photographs, which might include a SN.

I had no trouble getting to their complete listing of Parkers.

The PH 28ga, while born with 16ga. Twist barrels, is still Parker, in that the 28ga. barrels were added by the factory, but the letter indicates it originally had a hockey stick butt stock, with a 3 3/4" DAH. The picture isn't conclusive, but it 'looks like far less than that now, so I'd be curious what sn appears beneath the tang.
I think 0 framed 28ga guns may be one of the last bargains out there, and they have been slowly creeping up in price.

The PH 28 gauge Edgar was talking about has a PGCA letter. When the gun was returned it was requested to add swells back in old barrels. What are swells?

I saw that too, Frank. I just figured the owner had sentimental attachment to a couple bulged chambers.

No Parkers would come up for me in the search either.

As Andy noted, it's likely your pop-up blocker. That was the issue when I tried to look at them.
