30" Chain Damascus barrels with matted rib are not maker marked. Boxlock type action is of later style, with reinforcement on sides and slightly radiused break off. Action is engraved with 70% coverage sprays of scroll within geometric borders framing nicely detailed dog scenes; pointer on left, and setter on right, both under "Ithaca Gun Co". A pheasant is on circular motif on trigger plate. Finely crotch figured American walnut capped pistol grip buttstock measures 14 - 1/8" over Ithaca embossed composition buttplate. Fancy back point pattern checkering is at grip. Matching splinter forend with inset ebony tip has J-spring release. CONDITION: Fine as partially refinished. Barrels retain over 70% original Damascus finish on dramatic pattern. Action has perhaps 30% case color. Stocks retain nearly all of an old oil refinish, checkering re-cut. Bores are fine, lightly frosted, with a few small dents. Action is slightly loose. MGM 243
