I'm afraid not. The DOM is 1914.
The subject gun.
I believe someone, in an attempt to 'color' the action and lockplates applied some sort of darkener (it doesn't really look like cold blue) and likely blued the barrels also - unless it's a shadow, look at the lower aspect of the barrel at the breech.
The pin heads are stained black



Original Ideal. The lockplate connector screw and FW forward lockplate screws were case colored. Also note the 'halo' around the pins, that were not case colored.



I can't tell if the stock has been refinished.

Not a lot of market interest today in altered 12g vintage Smiths, but it could be a decent shooter, depending if the chokes have not been messed with.
