Default VHE Chokes

We measured the chokes on the 12 ga. 28" bbls VHE (circa 1929 mfg)I just purchased this past week They measured out as follows:

Left barrel: .732 - .964 (per the table Extra full choke)
Right bbl: .731 - .706 (per the table - Improved modified

My question is - would these be an uncommon choke configuration? something likely to be special ordered? Not unusual at all?

Allen;
They are common for a Parker. At least you know the chokes have not been fooled with. Sounds like a nice gun. Enjoy the tight chokes.

Wish I went to your high school. I assume you meant .694 not .964 on that left barrel. That gives you .025 on the right and .038 on the left. Grind 'em up buddy. Check your PM's.
