Case color is definitely visible in the picture of the water tables.

You're right Dean. I saw it as well when I looked at the pics. HB I plan to weigh the gun today and I'll post the results. It's very light. Makes my Parker 20's feel like a hand cannon

The gun looks like a Field Grade of that era. Normally the barrels on the Field Grade were roll-stamped "Smokeless Powder Steel" on top of the right barrel.

The quite similar No. 1 Special would have had a capped pistol grip and Cockerill Steel barrels.

The little gun weighs in at 5 1/4 lbs. the 28" bbls are only 2 1/4 lbs

Hope you took in a UK game while at Rupp Arena, go WILDCATS!!!!!

Nice find Mike. Brings back memories. My first double ever was a 20 gauge Ithaca Flues. 26" barrels and about 5 1/4 pounds. I wonder who I sold that gun to....

I am happy with it. It's my first Ithaca. As soon as I picked it up I knew it was for me. I hope to make some good memories with it too. I wouldn't mind feeling "frisky as a kitten" when I get home

That's the first picture I've seen of Mike without a good looking woman next to him.......:rotf:

What do you mean Larry?
