Thanks for posting that Dean.
Unfortunately we can't inquire exactly where "junction of chamber & forcing cone" WT was measured.
If that is the "end of the chamber" (toward the muzzle; not breech) .068" is well below CIPs recommendations of .075" for a 20g with “Standard Steel” (Non-alloy AISI 1045) with tensile strength = 101,526-123,137 psi

Crolle damascus tensile strength averages about 55,000 psi or 1/2 that

Austin Hogan observed that factory small frame Parker 20g and 16g gun may have an end of the chamber WT < .090"

.068" is also well below any measurement documented here

It might be very interesting, and prudent, to repeat the "end of the chamber" WT measurements.
