You have a 1920 GHE on a 1 1/2 frame with Parker Special Steel barrels and a straight grip stock worth well more than the 600 you paid. The buttplate and LOP are the only issues I see and a good gunsmith can do a simple and relatively inexpensive fix of that. Spreader loads will take care of the chokes. Or, as BD says, hit them in the head. Pictures of the sideplate and trigger plate engraving would be nice. This gun is not in the serialization book but you may be able to get historical details with a research letter. Nice find.

Nice G engraving for the period. Almost looks like a pheasant instead of a turnip.

No, no, no... the 'turnips' are early renditions of ducks, not upland birds.
