I purchased a Model 12 16 gauge recently. It does not have ANY serial numbers on it. Barrel is marked Model 12, Nickel steel, MOD. There are the 2 alignment arrows on the bottom of barrel , but no s/n on bottom of barrel and receiver. 

 Has anyone heard of this before? I will try and post some photos. Any help or information would be appreciated.

 Thanks,

Thanks for your reply. The finish is pretty consistent throughout. I will get some photos up.
