Jim,
They look like "Chain Link" Damascus to me. |

Walter Snyder has sent the Ithaca records to the McCracken Research Library at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West in Cody, Wyoming. I understand they are now doing Ithaca letters. From the serial number chronology in Walter's books it would be 1914, but chronologies are very general and some guns languished in inventory a long time. I've seen Ithaca invoices for guns that by the serial number chronology would be early 1930s that actually didn't sell until 1942.

Jim's post is from 2015 and Austin is correct, the barrels are Chain damascus, usually found on No. 3 hammerless Flues.
No one on the internet can tell Gary if his gun is safe. This is a start https://www.shotgunworld.com/bbs/vie...p?f=5&t=366087

Cody Museum has the records for Ithaca and I would request a letter.
