Here is the wood on a 12 gauge NID field grade that I have. It is a late gun being built in 1941. The theory is that Ithaca used up some of there higher grade wood on field guns towards the end of production. This particular gun has 30” barrels and weights 7lbs 8oz. I also have a later 30’s built 16 NID that weights 6lbs 8oz.

A lewis or flues will usually always be lighter than a comparable NID in the same gauge. This is because of the design of the actions and how much metal is machined out of it. The NID is much more stout of a frame.

Flues guns especially are very lightweight in the frames. And the earlier versions are prone to the frames cracking when improper loads are used.

The checkering on Ithaca's is secondary to none also. That's a beauty Jason

I doubt there was ever an Ithaca as finely and intricately checkered as high grade Remington Hammerless Doubles --

Dave,

You are right. Ithaca checkering on grade 4 and up has the Appearance of high quality with all the scalloped borders, ribbons and flurs in it, but the actual quality of execution and detail is usually lacking. It is just flashy to catch the eye.
