  I'm pretty certain it's a 870 F (premier) custom made best resource is Remington soceity to find out for certain as remington also made some special runs for some of their Distributor.

  It looks to me like a field grade gun that an owner had extensively modified---and then shot clay birds with it every weekend for the next 20 years.
  
  Value will be minimal due to extensive wear & damage.

  Does it look like the receiver is steel or silver. Thanks for the info

  Steel reciever with the blue wore off with use.

  I tend to see this gun in a different light then most . I have a hard time believing the finish on the receiver is worn so all blueing is gone but bluing on barrel is 90% plus .

  I agree with PerryShooter. That barrel is no where near as old as the reciever. That would be a good candidate for a restoration on the reciever, perhaps.

  It's likely the receiver was stripped of bluing when it was engraved, and left in the white.
