I'm shocked to see the value of this gun!

The auction is still open so who knows what it will go for. I'm surprised that the add states they where made for two years 1959 to 1960. Mine has a barrel code of OE.
Which I date to July of 1958. I'd say by the pictures that mine is equal in visual presentation.
Can any one confirm the actual dates these where manufactured as some internet sources say only produced in 1958. I understand that the Buckskin Tan and Black Crow models are more popular but this is the Blue Wing Teal.
I understand that there is a very comprehensive (and expensive )book out there or Remington fire arms , maybe some one on the forum can shed some light.
I'm amazed that Gun Broker gets the HISTORY wrong.
Copied and pasted from the add near the bottom .
Launched in the 1990s as part of Remington’s colorful limited runs (e.g., Raven Black, Peacock Blue), it was marketed for small game hunting, plinking, and youth shooters due to its light weight and manageable recoil. The pump-action mechanism ensures fast follow-up shots, and the tubular magazine’s versatility with .22 Short, Long, and LR rounds adds flexibility. Its walnut-stained stock and vibrant finish make it a display piece as much as a functional firearm.
