It is not in the Parker serial number book so measure the barrels for length. With a vent rib added one never knows if the chokes may have been altered for some type of targets. If you can measure the chokes, do so, but if you can't the old method of a dime not going in the barrel does tell you that it is usually full choke. Anything in 12 gauge around .700 would be full, and less than that the better. We wouldn't want you to go out there after a turkey with cylinder in each barrel. The gun will make a nice shooter and save you from having to refinish anything. Since the gun is not original, the vent rib is a nice feature in my opinion.
p.s. If I had a wife that went out and bought me antique firearms, I would go to chef's school.
