You have a custom barrel made by SSK in .375JDJ.  Great wildcat cartridge based on the .444 Marlin case.  I'd like to have one myself.

Are you sure it's chromed, or could it be the stainless that is standard offering from JD maybe?
 
I've owned four SSK 375JDJ's, an indication maybe they were some of my favorite barrels.   ;)

They used to be satin crome plated years ago.  I think they called it Armaloy.  I had one in .45-70.
