Ithaca Flues single barrel 12 gauge trap gun is perhaps their 4E grade. The 34" barrel has a brilliant bore with slight fouling at the choke and a raised rib with double ivory beads. Bluing is dark, uniform and aging to a pleasant silver-blue; it is very good overall with brightness at the muzzle and several small nicks throughout. Stocks are sound and are quite presentable with fine bordered checkering, inletted hardware and beautifully grained wood. There is an old, tight crack rear bottom left of forearm about 5/8" long, a few more tight cracks at butt plate and light reasonable handling marks throughout. Tasteful, well-done engraving adorns most every steel part. There are remnants of varnish over-run immediately behind forearm and on action lever. The action is notably smooth and locks absolutely tight. This gun showcases Ithaca's exceptional craftsmanship from a bygone time and is a delight to examine.
