Buy a Manson gauge and do your own inspection after the dents have been removed. No "inspector" is going to use anything more technical than the Manson wall thickness gauge which you can probably buy for $125.

And a quality bore scope.
IMHO an evaluation by a smith with the interest, experience and equipment to do so is mandatory before using ANY 130 year old barrel, esp. if there is evidence of previous "barrel modification" of any kind.
