Ken,
Ithaca Classic Doubles and Victor New Yorlk should appear in a circle ring on the botton of the receiver. Beschi guns have this area xxed out. Beschi guns are only found in the early serial number range of 470---. Guns with the 471--- numbers were not involved. The short story is that ICD rejected parts were used by Beschi to build counterfit guns. I've looked at many Beschis and their workmanship is far inferior to ICD and they have high frequency of malfunction. If close inspection shows a "good" Beschi, and there are some, value is about $2500.
