Those barrels sure look cut to me. Matting does not terminate and the end fill is not original and there are no keels. The bead does look original. What is the barrel length now? You never mentioned it. Does the gun balance?
The cards you mention would likely be the original hang tags that the PGCA has for members who own said guns that they have tags for.
A research letter can be had by anyone if there are records on the gun a letter is requested for.
