I know they have had quite a history and many, many guns have been made. I've visited the factory in Ithaca twice with my dad and I still don't know half the story. I've looked through a few posts here and there certainly seems to be some experts here. Maybe I can get some long sought help. My father left me a few Ithaca shotguns. I would like to try to find out more about them. One is a double barrel side by side 12ga. SN272873. When I've tried to look it up I get conflicting information that the serial number could mean it is a 1916 Flues model, a 1898 Sidelock model (which sounds like something I would be able to easily identify, but I'm not 100% certain what a sidelock is) or a 1928 Lefever Nitro Special, but the lefever that I have says lefever on it so I'm thinking this one isn't a lefever. Anyone know by SN what this gun is?
