Some discussion on changing numbers to match your frame, I once had a nice GH with Vulcan barrels, it was originally a Damascus barrel gun. The numbers can be changed but I doubt that anyone would change the rib, etc, or actually rebuild the barrels so you can be pretty sure when you see an orphaned set of barrels from Parker. I once saw a beautiful AH 16 and later found it was an AH 12 originally but I still wish I had bought it. I regret that the dealer never mentioned that it was not actually a 16 but I didn't ask so he wasn't dishonest, just not forthcoming and could see I was new to the game. Live and learn but if I had bought it and later found a set of 12 barrels, it would have been a sweet gun, even without original barrels and I didn't know what steel should have been on it and didn't even check to see if the numbers matched. Talk about a sheep waiting to be sheared! So we live and learn but you gotta love a Parker, call me prejudice but the best ever built.
