Default CH Opportunity

Gentlemen I have the opportunity to purchase a CH, I believe it dates 1892. This particular CH was a Worlds Fair winner and at one time was owned by major baseball great and Hall of Fame inductee Christy Mathewson.
The gun does not have the original Bernard barrels. My questions are, What are the main things to consider before purchasing? Is it possible to ever locate the original barrels? Should I allow the guns history to play a role in my bargaining? I'm flying out to examine it in the morning, what should I consider before literally pulling the trigger? I currently own two VH's a 20 ga. and a 12 ga., this is my first serious consideration on purchasing a high grade Parker.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
