Item Description
Bryant Ridge Auction Company is pleased to present this awesome century old side-by-side shotgun today for a penny start auction, this is the Ithaca Flues Grade 1 Special Model!
SPECIFICATIONS:

Date of Manufacture: 1916
Caliber: 12 Gauge
Finish: Blue
Barrel Length: 30" Nitro Steel Barrels
Optics/Sights: Bead Front
Stock/Grips: Checkered Walnut Round Knob Stock and Forearm
Action: Break Action Side-By-Side
Markings: Standard / The left and right sides of the receiver are engraved with a hunting dog in a field scene. The right side of the Watertable is stamped with the serial number & "PATD". The left side of the Watertable is stamped with "S / 12". The bottom flat of the left barrel is stamped with the serial number.
Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
According to our research, the Flues Model, designed and patented by Emil Flues, was introduced in 1908 and made through 1926. It was produced in 10 different grades. Shotguns of this era may have Damascus, Twist or Laminated Steel barrels which are not safe with modern ammunition. Even if the gun has fluid steel barrels, the chambers may be shorter than today's 2 3/4" length shells. If using is contemplated, an evaluation by a competent gunsmith to determine barrel steel composition and chamber length is recommended. Modern 2 ¾” shells fired in a short chamber produces dangerously high pressures and can damage the gun and injure the shooter or bystanders. If deemed safe to use, only light field or target loads can be recommended. We believe ours is a Grade 1 Special Flues Model made in 1916.
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3 day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
