    Nice gift. Your gun was made in 1924. The "W" in FW means that it is a Featherweight.
    Since it was probably ordered with 26" barrels, I would say that they are imp.cyl/mod. chokes.
    The information that Revdocdrew gave you is sound advise. Also your chambers are 2 1/2" unless someone has them opened to 2 3/4". I would try to keep the psi to under 8,000 in the shells that you shoot. There are shells out there. If you live by a Cabela's, they have Gamebore 20 ga. 2 1/2" #6, and # 71/2's, made in England.
    Good luck with your new "elsie" and we hope you join the L.C. Smith Collectors Association.
