What is "the original hour glass gizmo"?
If 1 1/4 inches were cut off a set of 30" barrels it very likely still has some choke. So it will never be a collector gun but will likely do what you want it to do except to cleanly kill ducks or geese at beyond forty yards.
How the gun might be devalued by the barrels being cut is pretty subjective. First, it is the lowest grade Parker made so unless it's condition otherwise is pretty darn high, any loss in value would be negligible.
