I think what you are seeing on the left side is bare metal where the gold used to be and not silver.

There is nothing inside of a Knick that can be screwed up by a curious owner. Once you fix the screws, everything will be OK.

5E
 

Guys,

A friend who owns a small shop called me yesterday with this gun. I believe its a 5E. it has 34 inch barrels. Unfortunatley the stock has been messed with. Serial number is 259487 and it has a 5 above that.

i have no interest in it but I believe I could help pull it away for a very reasonable price if someone is interested.

Let me know via pm or feel free to call 415-286-3504.

That is a first year (1915) Flues SBT. It should have this style bolting --

By the next year they had gone to the bolder McGraw style engraving and changed to the A.P. Curtis bolting.

Just worked on one with a silver inlaid phesant.

Nice Flues trap gun. They are worth quite a bit less than the Knickerbocker model that has over 400,000 serial number. The pictured gun also suffers from a cut up stock, but should still make a nice shooter for a few hundred dollars.
