Ithaca flues graded

[Jim Thoma]

Does anyone know how many Ithaca Flues graded guns where made, just got a 20 gauge 4e flues made in 1910 and would like to know a little about it.

I've never seen or heard of a by grade breakdown of Flues Model Ithaca Guns. Flues serial numbers ran from 175000 to 398365, so about 223365. However, the Flues SBTs were included in that serial number range and they were still making some hammer guns in the first ten years of the Flues, so maybe 215000 total Flues doubles. We do have a count of higher grades for the NID, 560 No. 4s. Regular frame NID serial numbers ran from 425000 to 470099, so 45099 plus 1011 Magnum-frame NIDs for a total of 46110.

560/46110 = X/215000 so X = 2611 No. 4 Flues Models

Probably the best we can do until, or if ever, Cody computerizes the Flues records Walter sent them.

Dave great information thank you very much, hope I will be able to get a letter on this gun like you said from Cody Museum , Do you think the records have when gun was made and for who? also where it was send? Got a few letters for Parkers and Francottes and they were pretty well documented it.
