My old 20" 870 Wingmaster is a retired PD gun.  I'm trying to date it by the barrel code, and mine is just stamped 67, could it be that simple?  there are no letters, just the two numbers.

Call Remington and ask for someone who can look up  your serial number.
I did this for a retired 870 and found the shotgun receiver was dated 1968 and the barrel 1964.

Good luck.

Nice, I just picked up an 870 Wingmaster, I guess I will have to give Remington a call.

Hey, mine has the same PD markings.  Is your 18", mine's a 20".

Yeah, barrel measures 18 1/8" with a dowel rod on a closed bolt. I ran some birdshot and 00 through it on Saturday and it does good.

In my experience, barrels bought as parts don't have the typical 2 letter remington date code.  The barrel was likely replaced on your gun.
