I see what you're talking about Greg - you're not "hallucinating".
Lighter areas around the choke stamps.
I'm going to presume the gun is not in your possession...
Maybe the owner/seller thought the choke stamps would show up better if he 'polished' the area a bit to make the stamps stand out. With his not very good photographic abilities, he may have believed this was a good option.
Just more WAG's Greg.
Best, Dean
