We can see the longitudinal carding ‘stripes’ which don’t generally appear on original barrels. On untouched barrels, if in the condition of the barrels shown here, all we generally see are the striking lines or faint ‘scratches’.
Nevertheless, those barrels are exceptionally nice. .

If the rest of that gun looks as nice as those barrels I'd have to say they are original. Knowing your ability to find great guns Frank then yes they are original. Just saying...

Here is an original D grade from 1893 to compare. Colors seem very similar.

I believe they were re-colored and over-etched. The white/iron alternee are slightly eaten away.

Thanks everyone for your inputs. Yeah Steve she seems to be a pretty nice upland gun 12 bore with 28” tubes factory choked about LM and I-Mod per my bore mike. Feels to be on the light side but I don’t have the weight. Sorry I don’t have any additional pics right now.
