Ithaca 20 ga Flues vs Fox Sterlingworth 20 ga

[BRDHNTR]

The Ithaca Flues 20 ga that I have is ser# S377944 which is 1924 vintage. It is rugged for a little 20 and in excellent condition.

Frank, when I'm next at that gunshop, I'll check the water table to see if 'SP' is stamped on the table. I don't win much with $1 scratch tickets so I don't bother with the mega lottery!

Can you imagine one of the utility grade guns of today, such as the CZ, Huglu, and others holding up for a hundred years like the Foxes, Parkers
,LC Smith, Lefever, and Ithacas. My friend got a new CZ sxs 20 for his son and it already has had 2 issues that necessitated it being returned for service.
The young man is a sxs fan, so I gave him the choice between borrowing one of my SW 20's or my Lefever Durston Special 20 w/ ejectors to use on his hunting trip. He chose the SW and he did it proud.
I think I would pick up that SW if I were you.

An SP-/SPE-Grade would be marked like this on the watertable --



The Savage Proof Mark is an SP in an oval --
