Looks like a very nice example in what appears to be original condition---- nice gun I think many collector/shooters would pay $1500. for such a nice example.

How long are the barrels? 32" barrels are a bit of a premium these days.

unfortunately the number is not in the "book" but as Bill says the barrel length can affect the value. also I think I read the frame size as a 2 - so 32 inch tubes would make it a great waterfowl gun.

The barrels are 30". Just from looking at the end, it appears each barrel is a different choke. How do I know for sure?

the constriction would need to be messured on the inside with a bore guage, check with a local good gunshop

Measure the bores and chokes with a proper bore micrometer if you want the correct readings. About one in fifteen gunsmiths own one. Where are you?
