Beautiful gun, David. That setter may be the best engraved dog I've seen on a Parker.
I Don't think you can rely on rib mat termination, or touching barrels as a definitive test for cut barrels. I've seen barrels still touching after loosing 4". I couldn't say whether your are, or are not cut, though I seriously doubt they are. The age coloration of the ivory sight is a telltale indicator that's it's been there a LONG time. It is pretty difficult to remove and reinstall ivory when it gets that colored, as they become quite brittle.
