Steven, one of the things you will learn is that the majority of 110+ year old Parkers will have a buggered screw or two. Don't let the screws detract from your excitement of the purchase. The screws can be redressed and properly aligned.
What is the current barrel length? They appear about 26 inches, which would likely mean they have been shortened and may have little if any choke left. The serial number is not listed in the serialization book so I can't tell you what length they were originally.
