Stevens 820B

I didn't want to jump in, was expecting a couple of people here that know well. I think the stamps look fake but the military has a habit of buying strange things to fill gaps in stock at times. This one wouldn't have had a polychoke though. I doubt it's authenticity too... Sometimes it takes a couple days for people to notice the thread... Here's one you could PM about it. https://www.milsurps.com/member.php?u=6224

I talked to one guy that said that if there aren't any choke stamps that the poly-matic choke may be factory installed? I know that the military did get some with long barrels, and the poly choke... IDK about the acceptance stamps?? Iffy, but I've seen pics of others, including 620s with poorly stamped US, and good stamped fire bombs??? I've heard that the Fire bomb, and P weren't used after the war, but IDK if that's true, This would have been a Korean War era gun, but I doubt it would have been a combat weapon...????
