Remington 1894

I have a friend who has an 1894 and we're trying to figure out as much as we can about it. The barrels appear to be damascus. They have a pattern that looks like fingerprint swirls. The bottoms of the barrels are marked:

I (or 1) /// A P

I can find lots of information online about other marks corresponding to grades, type of steel, etc. but nothing I've found matches the marks on it.

Any help?
 
368 [choking %, 368/511 = .72% Full] [over Full, less than Extra Full}
284 [choking %, 284/511 = .55% I. Mod] Imp. Cyl.

the numbers on the lug surface are the pellets count from a 511 pellet loads for determining chokes.

The CHAMBERS are the SHORT 2-9/16 length. Not the standard 2-3/4 standard length.

What state you in? Locate a knowableble gunsmith to determine for examing the shotgun.

I have used the Bachelder's shop in Grand Rapids, MI., for a examing my grandfathers 1894.
