BP Shotgun Identification

Got a Navy Arms SxS shotgun with the s/n 4302. Can anyone advise of the age of this shotgun?

Called the factory, no help.

Any help appreciated.
Thanks!

Navy isn't a factory they're an importer. If the gun was made in Italy there will be a date code consisting of two letters in a box or Roman numerals. It will most likely be on the underside of the barrels. Serial numbers mean nothing on these guns.
