Silver sided 1000 12ga

[Skibaskiba]

I got a 12 from a retired cop who told me it was some sort of limited release to dealers back in the day. It looks like other 1000 but it's silver with black etching... Anyone know anything about these? I can't find another out there

Can you post a picture? I've seen SKB's like that, but not S&W's; of course, there are many things I haven't seen.

The guy didn't know what it's worth so I gave him 300 for it... Can't find another one on any of the gun selling sites

 

[Skibaskiba]

Anyone ever seen one of these?

Please let me know if I posted in the wrong spot... New to forums lol

I don't know about anyone else, but I can't see the picture in your second post - I just get a blue box with a question mark.

Has anyone ever seen one of these?

I have not seen a Model 1000 like that, but I made a Remington 552 look similar by sanding the finish off the sides of the receiver.

KO

Thanks ko41 but this doesn't seem to be sanded

Thanks. Took it to an appraiser at cabellas and they said it looked like someone wire brushed it too. Of course the guy who sold it to me and gave me the story and BS about it is saying it was sold to me cheap and that the appraiser is wrong. I'd really like to know one way or the other

In the photo, the work looks well done if not original, and if the gun is in good condition, it's surely worth $300 as a hunting gun. Not many people collect S&W long guns, anyway. Have you priced Rem. M-1100's in comparable condition?

If the work is aftermarket, you might ask a COMPETENT gunsmith if it needs a clear surface protectant.

I think you should send the photo to S&W and ask if it was made this way. If so, I think you got a bargain. I'd look for some key spare parts, including rubber gaskets while they're probably available. I'm guessing the gun uses those O-rings, like the M-1100?

Is this receiver steel or light alloy?

Curious, but looks like the aluminum receiver has been stripped.
Still easy worth the 300 imho.
