help with chrome model 12 pump manufacture date please

Post by Brentfoust »

I inherited a model 12 that looks to be chrome. I always assumed that it was aftermarket, but was told by someone that possibly factory finish. It's an excellent finish quality but never put much effort in to value of it because I wasn't sure if Remington ever produced chrome model 12's. The buttplate is same finish. I spoke with a gentleman from Remington couple years ago and he mentioned that Remington had produced some chrome or chromium model 12's? Also curious about manufacture date. serial number 772497. I have included 3 pictures trying to show any stamps on barrel and numbers. I'm not selling gun because was passed down, but would like to figure out approximate value and knowing if factory finish or not will help (I try to keep an updated gun and values list for my kids). Thanks so much for any help.
