I have another shotgun that is black chromed, and the finishes look nothing alike. Should be easy for you to tell which it is.

I did have one that had lots of scratches through the chrome so I plugged the bores and stripped the barrels with muriatic acid(best done out doors) then polished and rust blued. Stripping with acid is a smelly nasty process. I gotta believe the fumes can't be good for you! Mark https://www.gunsinternational.com/marksbornagainbirdgunsllc-.cfm DON'T FEED THE TROLLS !

Blued Ithaca SKB 200E SRH Ithaca-SKB black chrome finish is entirely different from the black chrome finishes you see on the fairly modern Turkish and cheaper Italian offerings. The Ithaca-SKB finish is very velvety with a very attractive sheen. I�ve owned 4 Ithaca SKB 100�s and 1 200E. All of them were black chromed.
