But, until I found out that gun was made in 1910, I had shot (a few times a year) modern light 2 3/4" shells through it for about 15 years now. With that track record of no issues, can I assume it is a 2 3/4 gun

You can assume that but I grew up shooting 2 3/4 shells out of damascus barrels with 2 1/2 inch chambers with no ill effects. I do not recommend anyone try it tho. Even if it is 2 3/4 which it could be but isn't likely it will have the wrong forcing cone cut. The forcing cone will be cut for shells with a roll crimp. If you plan on shooting it you need to have the cone recut for modern star crimped shells.
