Yes, get a digital bore gauge to determine the length of the chokes and to find the amount of constriction at the muzzles compared to say, 6 or 7 inches into the bores. I used to use one of those brass drop-in gauges and find them to be virtually useless on these old guns.

A full choke Parker in that era would measure cylinder bore with a "brass choke gauge". They were normally 11 gauge barrels, bored at .740 or close to that.
