Default syracuse barrels

In 1903 my great grandmother bought my grandfather a new syracuse 12 ga. with a new twist barrel. $30 at the time - a lot of money for coal miners but I guess he put some game on the table. After WWII my father shot 3 dram loads through it then put it away. I have it and now discovered some small dings in the barrel that show through to the inside and given the twist construction won't shoot the gun. It does really come up nice and I would like to shoot it sooooo... do you think I might have half a chance of finding a set of barrels? Any direction one could steer me? I have no books and don't know if they made a fluid steel barrel or not.
