I am guessing but the lack of explicit direct evidence and compelling circumstantial evidence, I'd say its probably a gun safe to shoot, at least I know I would, and I am pretty wary around old guns. If that gun was reproofed in 1993 and shot using modern powders and not touched since then, then probably okay. But I am not shooting it and I think you have a legitimate point and prudence to make sure. My Parker VH 16 has very thin barrels at the muzzle and I know it has not been honed or anything and I shoot 1 oz loads thru it without too much concern, but will probably start dropping down to RST loads.
BTW that is a very nice looking gun, would be proud addition to any arsenal. Obviously it looks like it came as part of a matched pair, is there any indication the 2nd is in proximity of this gun.
