Ted,
I have two SKB's A 20ga ithaca model 100 with black chrome. It has held up well except where my sweaty and oil Italy hands carried it all those years. I bought it it new over 35 years ago. The black chrome was a part of the advertisement Ithaca used back them. Also chromed inside too.
I also have a 385 28 ga. A very unique gun. It is built on the 20 ga frame. It has a nice beavertail, and vent rib. Because of the frame size it weights over 7 1/2 lbs. Might sound wierd, but is is one hell of a target side by side. If has only 26' barrels, but it still swings nice and shots like a dream.
