No, except Remington era skeet guns. You have to measure them or pay for a PGCA letter, which may not tell you anything. Dave Noreen has added a comment that late Remington guns are also marked with choke designations on the barrel flats.

The chokes are marked on the barrel flats of some of the very late Remington era guns.

On the barrel lump it has a 1 and 2 next to 1-1/2.
I didn't know what that means

The 1 and 2 means "Twelve", as in twelve gauge. The 1 1/2 is the frame size.

Thanks, I just wanted to make sure that if I do open up the chokes nobody would know if it was original.

Unless they request a PGCA letter that may include choking information.
