Question about 870 Police and Special Purpose finish

I have a new (07/06) 870 Police 4421. I have sold off my Express to purchase the Police. Now I need a barrel for crow shooting. I never liked the Express finish as it rusted so easy. Are the Special Purpose barrels parkerized or the same finish as the Express?

Thanks in advance,
Chard
 
The older Special Purpose guns had a parkerized finish.

Looks like the new 2007 models have either a camo finish or a "matte black" finish.

I'd guess that the "matte black" is not the same as the cheaper Express guns bead blasted and blued finish.
 
Thanks for the reply. I have no idea how old the replacement barrels Midway has in stock. May have to talk to there customer service and ask about the finish. I would like for it to match somewhat. Otherwise it may take a while walking the gun shows looking for a barrel.

thanks,
Chard
