Newbie here. I've been searching the site and think I know what I have, but want to confirm it. I think I have a 1924 Ithaca Flues Grade 1 12ga. Can you confirm this from the pics below? I made them small to conform to the 35k pic size. Hope I was successful and that you can see them ok. [img] http://s430.photobucket.com/user/Kxbronco/media/IMG_0266_zps4eloutfx.jpg.html[/img]

It is a grade 1 Flues- made from about 1906 to 1924-- I don't have a sn chart at hand- but if the extractor forearm (snap-off- no latch) does not have an extra machine screw to anchor the forearm iron, it usually means pre-1915 era. Check for short chambers, and receiver cracking- Flues were black powder era guns-- The later NID's are A-OK-- RWTF

Man, you guys are quick! The serial # is tough to see, but it starts with 385xxx so that's where I came up with it being a 1924 year. The forearm does have a single machine screw that holds it on.
It is definitely not in pristine condition. What kind of value do these guns have? I can post more pics if I need too. I inherited it and it has no sentimental value. Was thinking of trading it for a Westernfield 500 12 ga in decent shape.

Check for barrel length, and choke markings on the barrel flats- Ithaca used a numerical code- 1 for imp. cyl., 2 for mod., 3 for imp. mod. and 4 means full choke- usually on 12 gauge Ithacas w/28 and also 30" barrels, you w8ill usually find 2 & 4-- mod. and full- But NOt always-

A trade for a Miroku made Western Field model 500 would be an upgrade IMHO...Geo
