Hello friends:

Some interesting Ithacas on this month's auction:

1. Auction 113 - A Flues 16ga Grade 3 double. Built 1913. Really lovely little double with exquisite engraving - pre-war Flues are wonderful! Just six pounds. Barrels are excellent. Downside is replacement butt stock.

2. Auction 188 - Flues 12 ga. Single barrel trap. Re-blued and butt stock replaced behind the wrist! Gotta love trap shooters! Maybe it broke! Still, tight and ready to shoot.

3. Auction 232 - 20 ga. Deerslayer III from King Ferry - Like new condition. Laminated stock and a car axle for a barrel! It's heavy! Leupold scope.

4. Auction 265 - 12 ga. Deerslayer from 1st year production. Excellent condition - extremely nice and straight!

Couple more to get up yet - a 50's 16 ga. 37 and a couple 51's - so keep watching.

Regards, Al Zinn
