David that serial # is not in the book to verify the barrel length but from the looks of the end of the barrels in that not so great pic it would suggest that more than 2" of the barrels have been cut as evidenced by the gap IMO. If that is the case there is probably minimal choke left. There are other obvious issues. This is not a gun I would fully restore personally, at the end of the day you would have a real pretty gun with cut off barrels and really be upside down in it financially even if the acquisition cost for you was zero.
Personally I think this would be a candidate for a donor gun. Sleeve the barrels into a 28 ga or 410, replace the wood and engrave as you like. Then there's always the grouse hunter out there who could repair the wood and make a hunter out of it. Unfortunately neither of those scenarios is going to net you much pocket change. Just my two cents. Best of luck with it.
