Interesting and gorgeous Ithaca Flues

The Barrels have been called Amercan Flag bunting and Etoli by those much more knowledgeable than myself. There is further discussion on this gun and its history on the below thread for those interested.

I cam across it quite by accident with the purchase of a 28 ga DH (with bent barrels) The DH is long gone but I have not let go of this one.

Ithaca wood often seems to be a notch higher per grade than its competitors, and the early engraving was exceptional. I have always appreciated the thin frame on those early Flues models -- nice, lightweight guns.

Ithaca called the pattern "American Flag" (no bunting)



Walt Snyder's Crass 4E



Remington's "Etoile 3 B.P." had finer "stars"

[Drew Hause]

Mark's Flues however has a "Washington" pattern - note within the 'scrolls' are not crosses/stars but small rectangles

This is a Parker



Remington called the pattern Washington N 3 B.P.

The lopins; the bottom row No. 1 is American Flag and No. 3 is Washington
