Default barrel I.D.

Hi guys,
First time poster here. I'm new to Parkers but have been collecting other guns for many years. My father recently passed and I inherited a 1907 Parker G grade on a #2 action in 12 gauge with Vulcan steel barrels. It is very well used on the outside with no case colors left and the checkering on the stock is nearly all worn off. But it is sound and tight with matching numbers.
My first question to you Parker guys (one of many I'm sure) is about the barrels. They measure 25" in length. I'm told they have been cut. If they were it wasn't by buba as they are perfectly perpendicular to the barrel sides and show a radius on the outside. But the bore measures .720 at the choke end. By the charts I have, .720 is the improved cylinder measurement. According to my charts .730 is the inside diameter for 12 ga. So, the question is, are Parker bores of this vintage .720 or are they the standard 12 ga. I.D. of .730. Or do I have a factory 25" with improved chokes? I'm fairly sure they are cut but I thought I'd ask the experts.
TIA
Dave
