I figured I was safe if they were longer not shorter as listed in the serialization book. Mine was an earlier gun from 1877. Here are some pics, and it is more like 29 5/8". Hopefully, Mike you'll find out the same with your gun.
I had always assumed that Parker had some left over odd length barrels that they wanted/needed to use. Or barrels were damaged in the production process and ended up being shorter than expected.
