Odd combination to me. Trying to save weight on a double with 32” barrels. Why? Nice looking gun but I suspect it was special ordered for someone who had ideas about what he wanted and did not worry about others.

Agree, Stan. If it ain't a NID Ithaca, I wouldn't want to own or shoot it- Looks like a Flues Ithaca to my old eyes. RWTF

I'd rather Miss than shoot a gun with a stock that looked like that.
I could live with the swamped rib, but not that stock.

Drew beat me to it!! That is an awesome piece of wood for a No. 2E Flues.

Wonder if it was a Lawrence (Lon) B. Smith gun from the years before the NID? Maybe if I actually read his book Better Trapshooting, Copyright 1931, E.P. Dutton & Co., Inc.?
