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 1921.
Condition and Contents:
As you can see in the many high resolution photos, this Ithaca is in Great condition overall showing only the normal indications of use and hanlding for its age.
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.
