Introducing the Ithaca Flues Model Grade 1, a remarkable piece of American firearm history. Manufactured in 1912, this 20-gauge, side by side shotgun carries with it a century old legacy, showcasing the fine craftsmanship of Ithaca Gun Company. Its blued finish and stunning walnut stock with checkering highlight the attention to detail and quality that went into its creation.
The overall condition of the shotgun is good, showing some signs of prior use and handling. The bore condition is also good, with signs of rivelling. Included in the sale is a bonus soft case, perfect for safe storage and transportation.
What sets the Flues model apart is its simplicity and durability. The break-action design allows for quick and simple reloading, making it perfect for sport shooting and hunting. Not only that, it has a 2-round capacity perfect for traditionalists looking for that extra challenge. Its 26" smokeless powder steel barrels, front brass bead sight, and two triggers are just a few of the features that make this shotgun a standout.
Despite a poor refinishing that left small pits all over the receiver and barrels, the original beauty of the shotgun still shines through. The receiver, originally color cased hardened, was blued during refinishing. The stunning walnut stock, although showing small dings and handling marks, remains exceptionally beautiful and showcases great figure.
