The code after the "pm" is the model type.
Are you sure it says 143? Browning doesnt list a model 143 Citori, but they did have a "153". The 153 denotes the Hunting model Grade l with a 3" chamber.
According to info I found, 143 indicates a trap with a Monte Carlo stock. I do not know why Browning does not list it.
Under the rules now governing the Roman numeral system that were introduced during the Middle Ages the year 1980 depicted as a Roman numeral works out as MCMLXXXX but the ancient Romans would have probably notated it as MDCCCCLXXX meaning 1980 which can be abridged to XXMM meaning -20+2000 = 1980
Under today's rules: September-XXVII-MCMLXXX September is the IX month.
1980 subtracted by 2010 = -30
1980 + 20% of 1980 = 1,980 + .2 x 1980 = 1,980 + 396 = 2,376
