Ithaca 5E SBT
 

Found this today in a pawn shop.He wants $2800 for the gun.Looks in good shape but stock is short with pach. pad attached.
Beautiful gun and very interesting.I think it was manufactured 1938.Bores are good and finish and engraving are good.Snipe is gold and pheasant is either worn or tarnished if silver.

Great gun at a good price.

i agree this is a fair price for this gun...she s a nice one...charlie

Use a pencil eraser on that tarnished pheasant and it should brighten right up!

I can't read the serial # in the photos; that's a good price if she's a Flues; GREAT price if she's a Knick. Kincks start at 400,000.

I guess that would be a knick

Fairly early gun. My 402,000 range 5E was made in 1930. Your gun shows up as 1938 on the Ithaca chart. Yup, pencil eraser or even kleenex rubbed on the inlay will remove the tarnish. Show us pictures of the wood and the actual length of pull and we'll give you a better idea of price. The screws need to be helped out a bit. Ithaca may still have some parts, like screws.

Don't have complete pictures.The wood is in good shape and nice grain.Very minor wear.Gun really doesn't look used much.
The lop is short with pad.

Buggered screws can be a concern 'cause they indicate something inside may be buggered as well. IMO the pad is not a concern if you want the gun to shoot; if you're thinking collectability it might be.
