New Ithaca Gun made by the Ithaca Gun Company in 1909. Damascus 24" barrels, which appear to be factory length as tubes are very close together at muzzle, in massive 10-gauge with matted rib. Case hardened Ithaca marked receiver with double triggers and "W.F. & Co Ex XXX (illegible)" marking on left side. Checkered walnut round knob pistol grip stock with matching friction release checkered splinter forearm. Everything appears to be period. CONDITION: Metal surfaces have aged to a silvery patina with some small areas of discoloration. Some small dents in both barrels. Action has faded to a silvery brown color with a scrape partially removing part of the Wells Fargo marking. Replaced hammer screws. Stock has a bolt repair at wrist, heavy usage marks and dings, and traces of original varnish. Good bores with tight mechanics. Great display gun in need of more research.
