My question then is are the loads John made reference to considered to be “overloads” for a 1921 12 gauge Ithaca Flues?

Why Flues models got a bad name in regards to not using the correct loads.

I don't recall the thread, but just recently Dave N. (Researcher) noted the change in weight of Flues models over the time of their production. According to him they beefed up (my words, not his) the frames and corresponding overall weight of the later Flues models. I don't note this as a reply to the original question, but just for reference. I see no reason to tempt fate with loads that may damage an old double.
