The full serial # is 195XX0 which puts the gun squarely within the 1910 Flues serial range. I do agree that it is a NIG, as does the current Ithaca gun Company's historian lady. Apparently she has some of the records from the original company. However, it is our mission to positively identify the model and grade. We'd like to give a current intrinsic value of the gun to our customer. Our customer who owns the gun currently, is the son of the original owner (a physician). The gold shield inletted into the stock has the name of the doctor engraved into it. If we can positively identify the gun, barring any significant historical value, the current owner wishes us to do a full restoration using the original methods Ithaca used to manufacture the gun. He then plans to gift it to his son so as to insure it stays in the family! I wish to thank all of you folks in advance for any assistance you've provided or will provide.
Respectfully, Jim
