No it would not be unusual. I have owned several 10 gauge top lever guns under #70,000 that had large bores.

are you aware that on early guns the order number is on the barrels as well
the serial number may be on the side of the lug
see if the number there agrees with the watertable

The seller is the one listing it as the 3 different parts being mismatched .
I emailed him for more pictures which showed the 14625 barrels , the only other numbers I seen were what looks to be a 56 .

The seller doesn't know about serial numbers, barrel weight markings, or order numbers, and he certainly doesn't know anything about the selling price of Parker shotguns in monkeyed with condition.
