New Rem 870 owner here needs help.

First post and first Remington 870 owner today. Today I purchased my first Remington 870 Express for $275 from a private party who won it at a banquet. It looks perfect. After owning Mossbergs for years I decided to finally get one. As I took it home to clean it I noticed it just says 870 on the receiver and not 870 Express like I have seen on many others. Does this mean I don't have a 870 express or does this mean I now own a lesser version of the 870 express.. Finish and laminated stock and everything else looks just like the 870 express. I hope I didn't buy a less quality one.

870 model markings vary. Not all Expresses say "Express" on the receiver. The receiver of my 870 is from an Express, and it just says "Remington 870". If it has the Express finish and furniture, it's an Express.
