Factory skeet guns from the 30's have some unique features. Most of them are 26" barrels, BTFE, straight grip, checked butt (V &G grade), single selective trigger, double bead, with ejectors. I am aware a few factory P/G stocked skeet guns exist.

The barrel flats will be stamped "Skeet In" and "Skeet Out", a skeet gun will also be the reverse of normal choking for a double with the tighter barrel (Skeet Out) on the right and the more open barrel "Skeet In" on the left. I believe that is because the first shot in skeet is a high house going away from post 1. The safety is usually non automatic on a skeet gun.

Your gun is too early to be a factory skeet gun. How many of the above features does it share with the items above? If it is a DelGrego conversion it would be worth more than if it is not.

PS. If your gun is equipped with a BTFE but does not have a reinforced lug you may have problems with the lug separating from the barrels some day.
