*SCARCE ITHACA GRADE 7 FLUES MODEL SINGLE BARREL TRAP GUN.

SN 278008-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. Bbl flat is stamped with SN and “A”. Case hardened special Flues single trap action (in use between 1914 and 1922), 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 two-colored gold inlays of game birds on sides of action; a pair of ducks flying over a marsh are on left side, one duck in red gold, the other yellow. Cattails in distance are in yellow gold. A pair of pheasants, one red, one gold, are feeding in field on right side of action. Red gold heraldic eagle is on trigger plate surmounted by “MADE IN USA” in scrolled riband. Portrait of a mule deer graces trigger guard bow. Nicely crotch figured American walnut straight grip buttstock measures 14-1/8″ over open sided Jostam pad. Side panels are checkered with fleur-di-lis intrusions. Grip is checkered in fancy pattern with fleur-di-lis at drop points and ribbons through pattern. A vacant gold shield is on toe line. Large matching reverse tapered ejector forend has reinforcing bolt and push-button release. Bore diameter: .728. Bore restrictions: .033 (full). Minimum wall thickness: .040. Drop at heel: 2-1/8″, drop at comb: 1-9/16″. Weight: 7 lbs. 14 oz. LOP: 14-1/8″. CONDITION: Fine, as partially refinished. Bbl retains nearly all of a glossy re-black, slightly silvered, engraving slightly softened. Action retains a considerable amount of its orig case hardening color, actual percentage difficult to ascertain because of extensive engraving, but probably exceeds 50%. Stocks retain most of an old oil refinish with open grain. Later pad has cracked plate, and does not fit well. Forend shows repairs with inlet lighter wood triangles at rear, corresponding to mounting screws in iron, with matching triangle replacing normal dark wood at tip. Bore is excellent, lightly frosted. Action is tight. 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. 4-53618 MGM221 (6,000-10,000) – Lot 2470
