Exclamation 16 Gauge Barrel

I have a 16 gauge harmerless Parker,ordered July 12,1901 and shipped September 13,1901, my research letter says that the barrel lenght was 30 inches and choked RH Mod and LH Full, I have checked all the serial numbers, they all match.
I have looked at the end of the barrel, the barrels touch and the engraving stops short of the end of the barrel. Thus, the barrel does not appear to be have shortened. But the barrel lenght is 28 inches and it is choked Cyl and Cyl.

The research letter states the gun was returned on Nov 21, 1907 to be restock and remove dents and clean barrels.

So, can the research be incorrect or could have something else occurred.
