I have an early 1 1/2 grade 12 gauge, and it also has gold washed triggers. I don't recall seeing the choke markings on my Ithacas with the slash but rather they just have one number for each barrel's choke designation. I'm curious how you know the barrels, at that odd length, are uncut. I'm also curious to see what those more knowledgeable than I (almost everyone!) have to say about the choke markings. I know the English designated chokes fractionally, but, again, I've not encountered this on my Ithacas. Live and learn.
A very nice little gun, BTW. Ithaca could make guns very light and nicely balanced.
