Why is it "Marlin 1895 SS" when it's not stainless

The thread subject says it all.
I was wondering why the ;arlin 1895 SS, isn't a "stainless"
I mean, when other models have an S in the model-designation when it's "Stainless" - like the Marlin 1895GS (Guidegun Stainless).

But I've found that there is indeed a Marlin 1895 SS - but the "SS" at that time was not "Stainless" as we would think today.
The Marlin 1895 SS model was : Sporter Safety
The "Sporter" was pistol grip
The "Safety" was a model with the (at that time) new cross bolt safety.
There wasn't many of these made.
At least, that's what I found.
