Having collected small bore Ithaca’s for many years—mid 70’s through 2005 or so, I can tell you that 410’’s with barrels longer then 26 inches are very rare. I’ve only encountered a handful. This 4-E is a collectible prize and totally original. I got to examine it in January and it was purchased for a friend of mine who has some of my key collection pieces. Walt S. gave me the record information and it’s a 1930 gun. I was not shocked at the final hammer price and feel that the intrinsic value is there, with a good probability to increase down the road.
