Yes. This was a gun imported for a fairly brief period of time, late 80's. They came with factory choke tubes. The more common guns were the 200's, of which I bought one new back then. Glossy finish compared to the Ithaca-marked guns, factory recoil pad if I recall correctly, game scene engraving on a coin-finished receiver. SKB confused things by using the same numbering system as on their previous guns, but there were differences. For example, the 80's 200E was a straight grip gun, the "E" indicating English. On the Ithaca guns, the "E" meant the gun had ejectors, and the straight grip guns all had a number that ended in 80 (like 280E). And the 400 from the 80's was a sideplated gun, while the earlier Ithaca 400's were not. The 80's 400 looked quite a bit like the 485, which was imported until just a few years ago when SKB dropped all their side by sides. Confusing, but not many of those late 80's guns were imported compared to the earlier Ithaca guns, so you don't encounter them very often.
