SN 344118-T. Cal. 12 ga. 2-3/4″ Chambers. 30″ Mono-bloc bbl with raised, ventilated, matted rib has sides of mono-bloc engraved “Ithaca Gun Co” and “Ithaca, N.Y.” on each side, surrounded by full coverage of interesting scrolled fig leaves and figs.

Action is highly embellished with full coverage of scrolled fig leaves and figs with stippled background, continuing theme from bbls, surrounded by geometric borders. This unusual treatment outlines gold inlays of game birds on sides of action; a pair of ducks flying over a marsh are on left side. Cattails in distance are in yellow gold. A pair of gold pheasants are feeding in field on right side of action. Gold heraldic eagle with white gold head is on trigger plate surmounted by “MADE IN USA” in scrolled riband. Portrait of a mule deer graces trigger guard bow. Trigger is gold plated. Very fine crotch figured American walnut straight grip buttstock measures 13-7/8″ over new Silver type pad. Side panels are checkered with fleur-di-lis intrusions. Grip is checkered in fancy pattern with fleur-di-lis at drop points and with ribbons through pattern. A vacant gold shield is on toe line.

Minimum wall thickness: .054. Drop at heel: 2-5/8″, drop at comb: 1-3/4″. Weight: 8 lbs. 7 oz. LOP: 13-7/8″. CONDITION: Excellent, as partially refinished. Bbl retains nearly all of a very fine re-blue. Action retains most of its orig case hardening color, actual percentage difficult to ascertain because of extensive engraving, but probably exceeds 70%. Stocks retain most of an old oil refinish with open grain. Forend has some incipient cracks near iron. Buttstock has two repaired cracks running from left side of top tang toward action, with plugged pin in checkering. Bore is excellent. Action is tight. (Locking lug brazed and refit) Ejector is strong. A very rare gun. Although records are not available for its entire production, only 9 were produced in this grade in 1921 and 1922. 4-53617 MGM222 (6,000-10,000) – Lot 2469
