Stevens Model 520-30 Trench Gun, Nickel Finish

[carbine joe]

I am new to the Forum and need help identifying an interesting Stevens M520-30 Trench Gun I recently purchased. The gun appears unfired and is in excellent 98%+ condition. It's a beautiful gun and has a very high quality nickel finish. All the markings are very crisp. I am wondering if anyone knows of any M520-30s that were given a finish like this or if they have seen another one like this. Was it a presentation piece? Parade gun? Even the sling swivel was plated. It's fully functional and came with a sling dated 1943. Any information would be helpful.
