Here are some pictures Tom sent me of the gun in question --











Looks like a pretty typical Ithaca Flues Model Field Grade of early 1922 vintage. I only own one Flues Model Ithaca and it is a nominally 30-inch barrel gun of 1915 vintage, and the barrels are actually 30 3/16 inches long. From my rather limited observations, it appears to me that Ithaca didn't really start finishing their barrels right on the even lengths until about 1935. Measuring the chokes with a bore mic will tell the tale, or perhaps Walter will chime in with some information.
