Flues 20 Gauge
That is a nice example, although I am a little skeptical that the case colors are original.
I noticed a Flues Grade 1 1/2 with Damascus on Gunbroker with what IMO would be original finishes. If you prefer the floral engraving pattern, this one does not have that, but it is advertised to have 2 3/4" chambers and the dimensions are more modern. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/925094518 I have no connection to the Gunbroker seller, as noted before, his prices are generally on the upper side and his guns are for sale forever, I do however admire some of his items  Stan |

Thanks for the input Stan. I too see that sellers guns A LOT because he seems to have many guns that fit in my search criteria. And as you mentioned, they seem to be there indefinitely.

Dan, that’s a beautiful gun. I like the art nouveau engraving and the barrels are gorgeous. If it checks out and you can shoot it, go for it(!)…and post more photos if you get it.

Neither dealer is giving minimum wall thickness and I'd be very concerned In these guns known for thin barrels and frames that crack.
Flues 20-gauge ad, 1910.jpg I'd be very concered about the wall thickness on Mikeej99's gun around the forcing cones, as I doubt that light weight 1912 20-gauge left Fall Creek Waterpower Lot #6 with 2 3/4-inch chambers. The No. 1 1/2 got the bold floral engraving in mid-1915 -- Ithaca Flues No. 1 and one half, July 1915.jpg By the June 5, 1918, Ithaca catalog the No. 1 1/2 was no longer being offered with Damascus barrels. No. 1 1-2, June 5, 1918, Pocket Catalog.jpeg In late 1919/early 1920 Ithaca thinned their line and the floral engraved gun became the New No. 1. No. 1, 1919-1920 Pocket Catalog.jpeg |

Again, with Dave’s caveats, if that art nouveau engraved gun checks out (and you can shoot), buy it.
