That is the way they were marked.What makes it a steel shot special is 28" barrels,3" chambers,and IC/Mod chokes.When Parker Repro planned to introduce the 12 gauge gun, all 28" guns were to be 3" with mod and full chokes and 26" guns were 23/4"with IC/Mod or Q!/Q2 chokes.We talked them into building the steel shot guns exclusively for the Jaeger division of Dunns.We ordered 350 of them and they shipped 360.I am sure they pulled standard 12s of off the line and opened the chokes.The original order guns had serial numbers 12SS-xxxx.My #26 is not marked that way because it was the prototype.We only requested the special SS mark to set our guns apart from standard production guns.
