Well if it's a Utica 220 it was made before 1947.

Never mind the choke, the only other 220 I've seen with that style of engraving had a factory variable choke on it, was just wondering if yours did as well.

Won't be able to date a Utica 220 as they didn't use serial numbers till they moved to Chicopee.

I've got a 219/220 rig myself consisting of a 16 ga, 28 ga, 30-30, 22 Hornet and 25-20 barrels. Still on the prowl for a 20 ga, 410 and a 32-20 barrel.
