    The finish is called anodizing. A few companies around that time frame offered some color options. The Browning Twelvette and Twentyweight come to mind.

    Never been a real big fan, personally. I do look for them to buy, though. Certain color combinations on specific guns have collector appeal.

    218Beekeep"er":I have never owned a Savage. The only aluminum framed shotguns that I have ever had was/is a Franchi in 20 gauge and an Atis in 12 gauge. The Atis I traded off along with some more stuff to get the Remington 11-48. Both of the aluminum framed guns had a black anodized finish. Since the Franch is designed for real close in work in tight cover, where I have taken it has produced scratches on the frame. I don't worry about it, because if it can't go where I go and do the work I want done, then I don't need it.
