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.

Do you have a way to measure the chokes? Parker chokes are generally pretty long. Obviously if they've been opened or cut, the barrels are not original. I agree with Bryan that from the picture you posted, they look to have been cut.
Original barrel length or not, that's a good looking Parker.

Barrels measure 27 7/8" I had MWT checked as well as the chokes. They do seem to be on the short side and come out at what he said that would be around I/C in both barrels. MWT is good so I am looking forward to patterning it.
Interestingly, both flats are marked with a +. |

Cut. I suspect these are original 30’s , especially if it is a 2 frame gun. Lots of these Damascus barreled GH’s were 2 frame 30’s , which are wonderful general purpose guns. Some people try to make a quail gun out of one by chopping the barrels.
