Need pictures and a detailed description of all factory lettering on the gun to say with ANY accuracy what is going on. It may be plated, or it could just as easily be one that someone polished the bluing off of. If it's fairly new it could have a version of that nickel filled Teflon or whatever Remington called it on the receiver, it was satin, as was the electroless nickel they put on the marine version. Since it says "Tournament" on it, it is likely a Trap model with B or C wood, just $10 more than a standard back in the day with better wood. I have never seen anything but blued until you get up to F grade, and I have never seen one of those with a plain receiver, but I haven't seen close to all of them. The apparent factory adjustable butt plate is interesting.
