Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Ithaca Flues 20-gauge with 28-inch barrels is a distinguished example of early American shotgun design, representing one of the most successful and longest-produced double-barrel sidelock shotguns made by the Ithaca Gun Company in the first quarter of the 20th century. Introduced in 1908 and remaining in production through 1926, the Flues Model was the company’s response to growing demand for lighter, quicker-handling field guns and was based on a patented sidelock mechanism developed by Emil Flues, which simplified the internal action and strengthened the frame for improved durability and lock-time performance. A 20-gauge Flues with 28-inch barrels embodies the ideal balance for upland hunting and sporting clay shooting — the slender barrels aid a swift, fluid swing on fast-moving targets, and the 20-gauge chamber delivers effective performance with manageable recoil for extended use. Typically built with a top-break action and extractors to ease shell removal, many examples feature double triggers and an automatic safety, along with a classic solid rib topped by a brass bead front sight. The shotgun’s finish traditionally combined blued steel barrels and a color case-hardened receiver, often contrasted with richly figured walnut stocks and finely checkered grips that both enhance handling and reflect the aesthetic values of early 20th-century sporting arms. Today, a Flues Model in 20 gauge with 28-inch barrels is prized by collectors and upland hunting aficionados alike for its period craftsmanship, historic significance as one of Ithaca’s signature models, and its charming combination of light weight, graceful balance, and traditional American gun-making character.
