The setters tell me that you are looking at a Flues style frame, New Ithaca Gun.
The tumblers are the weak point in the design. Check the hammers for side play.Excessive play will indicate worn tumblers. I have a pretty good inventory of parts but no new tumblers.
Ithaca used the best quality Damascus and did chamber them in 3". If the barrels, hammers and stocks are sound, it could be a good buy at the right price.
Iam currently restoring a C Grade N.I.G Neat old guns.
