The one you are thinking of is a 1904 CHE 20/26 Damascus. Patterned by Parker with 7/8oz, 2 1/4 dre. It has original chokes at left full, right IC. The combination of full and IC chokes occurs frequently in Parkers intended for upland game use.
When we compare the guns, we see in this instance Parker used a lighter patterning load on a fluid steel gun than a damascus gun, both 0 frame 20's and generally comparable intended usage.

Yes, you're right Bruce.

That's very interesting and I wonder if it is significant in how Parker Bros. may have perceived the strength of the different barrel steels to be.
