How did you measure the chokes? With early Parker Bros. guns notoriously overbored, a plug gauge, made to modern day industry specs, is no use at all.

2 3/4" chambers on a Damascus gun means somebody has "been in there". A drop in choke gauge that measures cylinder usually means modified or full in an early gun as Dave mentions.
