double barrell ithaca shotgun from around 1930

rawville
hello everybody

i have a question for you that my pops asked me to research.

he is looking to sell and old shotgun owned by my great grandfather.

all he knows off the top of his head is that it's a double barrell ithaca shotgun from around 1930 or so...

i'll be able to get more info on it in a day or so when i get the serial number and whatnot, but i was wondering if anybody could give me an estimate on what a this gun in decent condition could be worth

thanks for your help

    I'll assume a 12ga. field gun in 80% condition. This equates to a nice shooter showing wear, but otherwise in good shape and unmodified.

    Retail might net $450.00 hereabouts. A somewhat nicer gun will return more. A 20ga. or smaller will increase value.

    Details would be a great help.

    Bert is the expert on those...helped me with an ID on mine. See if he jumps in here. Will need some more info..serial #, gauge, engraving, chamber length, etc.

    according to this link

    i think it's a Flues model from 1910

    can anyone confirm that?

    Sounds about right. What kind of engraving is on the reciever? Is the serial number also hand cut?

    It is an early Flues... the gauge, grade, and condition will dictate what it is worth. Modern magnum loads should be avoided.

    Ithaca shotguns of that era were made in several grades, starting with the Field Grade (plain Jane), Grade No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4/4E, No. 5E, and No. 7E. The grade No. is stamped on the water table and on the bottom of the barrel (on the flats). The higher numbered grades are worth considerably more $$$ than lower grades, and were much nicer looking guns.
