Yes there are records that show those numbers but to the best of my knowledge they can only be found in the Grades section of The Parker Story.
$700 is outrageously cheap!! That would make me really gun-shy (to coin a phrase) and I would worry a LOT about what's wrong with the gun..... like unsafe barrels.....
I recommend that you DO NOT shoot it until the barrel walls are properly measured.
The refinish looks like a decent job and it only INcreased the value of the gun, judging by the extreme wear to the buttplate - I'm pretty certain the gun was in pretty poor condition.
Sorry to rain on your parade (I love lightened 0-frame 16 hammer guns as much as anybody - I've had six or seven of them and still have four) but you need to know the truth.
