William: I would also suggest ordering a Parker letter. This will tell you a whole lot more such as the original specifications and possibly the buyer.
Best Regards, George |

If it's a lifter I'd imagine there isn't any rib matting. Am I wrong?

Destry is correct. If we could get a better look at the muzzel and how the barrels touch some might be able to tell if the barrels have been cut or not.

Those lifters were often "meaty" In finishing the barrels not much metal was removed. If you weigh the barrels you might find that only 4 oz. was removed from the weight stamped on the flats instead of 8 oz. as is usual for later guns. I think the formula is that usually the barrels weigh 88% of stamped weight but lifters were often in the 92% area.

Choke began to be fairly regular after s/n 10000 or so. Early Parker full choke was .032 that is 1/32 inch. If the barrel was .030 thick behind the choke it would be .046 at the muzzle- more than a millimeter.
