5E
Guys,
A friend who owns a small shop called me yesterday with this gun. I believe its a 5E. it has 34 inch barrels. Unfortunatley the stock has been messed with. Serial number is 259487 and it has a 5 above that. i have no interest in it but I believe I could help pull it away for a very reasonable price if someone is interested. Let me know via pm or feel free to call 415-286-3504. |

That is a first year (1915) Flues SBT. It should have this style bolting --
 By the next year they had gone to the bolder McGraw style engraving and changed to the A.P. Curtis bolting. |

Did Ithaca ever use both silver and gold inlays like this?
Gold does NOT tarnish. It is my opinion that the gold inlay is missing. If so, reevaluate the asking price as replacing the gold inlay won't be cheap. |

I agree. It's a gold inlay that has been scraped off for whatever reason.

To have all that case color worn off the receiver, that gun has been carried and shot a lot!! But, they were made to be shot a lot!! When one blows the picture up there is quite a bit of the Pheasant detail visible leading me to think it is just a very tarnished silver inlay.

The guns reciever almost looks like a merkel I have.I mean the finish didn't look like it hard case color at all any time.Might be just the engraving but it does have a different look to it.

FWIW, I posed the question where Walter Snyder might see it. Walter says the change from silver to gold inlays on the No. 5Es was 1929/30. He also stated he had never seen silver on one side and gold on the other. I thought I had, but I have no documentation so maybe I dreamed it.
