In my opinion, Ithaca guns are the last great value in today’s market place. Some of the high grade small bore guns are incredibly rare!

The far and away most common Ithaca double is the Flues Model, some 223000, which has a bad reputation for frame cracking, and many were made very light and are found with thin barrels.

I use to think the frame cracking was only in the very light smallbores, but then I picked up a series of letters concerning a 1921 vintage No. 4 10-gauge --

For 1926, Ithaca Gun Co. introduced the New Ithaca Double (NID) with a stronger frame, new lock work and a rotary bolt, some not fitted as well as they should be. The Field Grade NID was introduced at $37.50 retail.

That same year the Godshalks moved the A.H. Fox Gun Co. into a new more efficient factory and dropped the price of a Sterlingworth from $48 to $36.50 a dollar cheaper than a Field Grade NID.

The price of the Sterlingworth remained $36.50 until June 1932 when Savage upped it to $39.50.
