If you have the LOT NO., you can tell the month and year it was made.I don't know how accurate this is, but I have in my notes that they used gold lettering on a 1994 880. And at least on some guns the lettering and designs seem to end up white over time- even when they started out as a color.
Guess I'm missing the barrel shroud and receiver halves.( with bolt and safety)Shroud had been rusty and I had tried cleaning it and painting. It's gone.
