The serial number chronology says made in 1934, as I recall the year the Parker Skeet Gun was introduced. However, the barrel flats don't state Skeet-Out, Skeet-In, and it has a butt plate instead of the checkered wood butt of a righteous VHE-Grade Skeet Gun. Then there is the checkering on the stock cheeks covering some sort of repair to the head of the stock. I believe I can see two small nails or pins in the wood back of the sear pin in the first picture.
I believe it is a 20-gauge VHE-Grade with the options of a single trigger and a beavertail forearm, not a "Skeet Gun" and with the stock issues, I'd think $4500 would be plenty for getting into this project. JMO
