Early 870 finish

[gp52555]

Did Remington ever produce the early wingmasters with a grey/green parkerized finish? I have an early (1953?) with that finish and wonder if it was refinished at some point in its life or original.

I'm going to guess that's been refinished although I don't know when Remington came out with the Police model, when they designated them with the Police stamp or when they started with that finish. Due to you mentioning that it's an early model, I'm guessing no.
