No fleas on a Flues, but for my money, I'd spring for a Fox Sterlingworth. I think that a similar conditioned Sterlingworth would cost about $500 more or than a like Flues though.

I like early 20th Century doubles and have a Baker, Ithaca, Fox and an ancient Spanish double.

All of those guns are working hunting guns and well made.

Thanks

but Foxes I got and have had several others through the years, just still thinking about the Flues as an oddity, never had one, NIDs but no Flues.

and if you find a solid 20 bore sterlingworth for 500 more than this Ithaca grab it and run before the seller sobers up
