From my experience the Parker letters have detailed the following:
The date of the order
Who ordered the gun
Where & when it was shipped
Model & Gauge
Lifter, Top action Hammer or Hammerless
Barrel length
Barrel Composition - Damascus, Twist, Titanic Steel, Vulcan Steel etc.
Stock Configuration - Pistol Grip or Straight
Requested chokes
Other details- vent rib, shells ordered
Other people’s letters may contain more information.

Phlebas the Phoenician, a fortnight dead, forgot the cry of gulls, and the deep sea swell and the profit and loss.
A current under sea picked his bones in whispers. As he rose and fell he passed the stages of his age and youth entering the whirlpool. Gentile or Jew O you who turn the wheel and look to windward, Consider Phlebas, who was once handsome and tall as you.
