Peter,
Please notice the line that starts at the bottom of the breech ball and runs to the right to the stock. This line is from buffing in preparation for recasing a receiver. I do not thinks one would see this on any gun with factory case colors!
Babe DelGrego of considerable Parker fame showed me that his restorations always have such a line because of the way that he buffed the receiver in preparation for case hardening. A DelGrego restoration is good to buy IF there is documentation.
If you are interested in such a Parker Skeet, find one of Opening Day's posts and contact him. He knows of where to find Parker Skeet guns.
Respectfully,
Mark
