If it is a high condition gun in otherwise unaltered condition opening the chokes may have a negative effect on the value of the gun. Especially if it is not done properly. It's not a simple matter of reaming the muzzle several thousandths. Proper and correct choke work on these old Parkers which sometimes have tapers as long as 6" should always be done from the breech to ensure the correct continuation of the choke taper.
Spreader loads generally give you only one less level of choke, e.g., spreader loads will give a full choke barrel a MOD pattern.
What are the chokes in your gun Daniel?
