ITHACA Gun Company FLUES Double Barrel Side by Side C&R HAMMERLESS Shotgun

ENGRAVED and 1917 Manufactured in Ithaca, New York

Here Ancestry Guns present a C&R Ithaca Flues Double Barrel Side by Side Hammerless Shotgun, made in 1917 in Ithaca, New York. The Ithaca Gun Company was originally established in Ithaca in 1880 and is still a manufacturer of shotguns and rifles. Over the years, Ithaca made numerous firearms, most notably this Ithaca Flues double barrel shotgun.

Ithaca became famous for building firearms based on expired patents owned by Remington Arms. They also purchased patents from other firearm designers. In 1895 Emil Flues was granted Patent # 546,516, for a double barrel shotgun with only three moving parts per barrel. Ithaca bought the patent in 1907 and upgraded the design to allow for mass production. With the Flues designed Ithaca double, which became the best-selling American double of all time with more than 223,000 produced between 1908 and 1926, Ithaca effectively drove Remington out of the double gun market.

The overall condition is nearing fine. Some original barrel finish is preserved. Light, original case colors on the frame. Damascus patterns on the barrels. Strong action. Both bores are shiny bright and smooth. Markings are sharp. Numbers match. Nice wrist and forend checkering.
