Case color is definitely visible in the picture of the water tables.

You're right Dean. I saw it as well when I looked at the pics. HB I plan to weigh the gun today and I'll post the results. It's very light. Makes my Parker 20's feel like a hand cannon

The gun looks like a Field Grade of that era. Normally the barrels on the Field Grade were roll-stamped "Smokeless Powder Steel" on top of the right barrel.



The quite similar No. 1 Special would have had a capped pistol grip and Cockerill Steel barrels.

Nice find Mike. Brings back memories. My first double ever was a 20 gauge Ithaca Flues. 26" barrels and about 5 1/4 pounds. I wonder who I sold that gun to....

I am happy with it. It's my first Ithaca. As soon as I picked it up I knew it was for me. I hope to make some good memories with it too. I wouldn't mind feeling "frisky as a kitten" when I get home
