It pays to check up on ads that seem off. I saw a gun listed on GB last week advertised as an LC Smith 16 ga. One look at the pictures revealed it wasn't. I went through the pictures and realized it was an NID Ithaca 20 ga from 1935. Decent barrels, lot of original color in hidden places and decent, good quality wood. The only thing it needs is some freshening of the butt finish and replacement of the recoil pad. I contacted the seller to see if the pictures or the description was correct and he answered that the pictures were of the gun being sold but he wasn't sure of the gauge (it is stamped in the pictures.)
I waited until 10 minutes before the close and bought it for the opening bid of $750. I felt pretty good about it.
