Action retains a considerable amount of orig case hardening color, perhaps as much as 40%, the balance silver gray. Trigger guard retains traces of orig blue. Stocks retain most of what appears to be their orig varnish. Butt shows loss where comb and cheekpiece altered, and finished with oil, and around shield which has been re-set. Pad replaced, and has gaps where it attaches to buttstock. Bores are very fine with some light frosting, and one or two light pings. Action is tight. Ejectors are in time. Trigger works. Walter Snyder in THE ITHACA GUN COMPANY from the beginning states “The record indicates that 87 magnum guns were produced in 12 gauge” “14 in grade 4”. This “all option” gun may be unique. 4-53615 MGM219 (4,000-7,000) – Lot 2464
