My fist post so please be kind...
When my grandfather passed away, he left me a wonderful, old Ithaca double. I finally got around to taking it down, giving it a good cleaning, and running some numbers. Based on the serial numbers i found, (and the wonderful reference guide you folks have come up with) i'm convinced the gun is a 1922 Flues 12ga. (dog on the side, smokless powder barrels great color, excellent stock (i can post pictures)
I don't want to bug you guys, but i have a few quick questions
1) how can you tell the "grade" of the gun? (i think it's field grade..is there a stamp someplace to identify ?)
2) the barrels are 26 1/4 " long (that's not a typo) seems kinda short to me, was that a stock option?
3) barrels are choked 2 and 4 (mod and full) was that a typical setup ?
any help would be awesome
