Ogie,,
The safety selector on this gun is also the barrel selector for the trigger. It should have 3 positions, R, S, L. Only the S position is Safe, the others being Right barrel or Left. I have a 20g with this trigger/safety.
Also, the second barrel set appears to be a set fitted after the gun was made. The numbers are of a different font. Im inclined to speculate that they were fitted by Ithaca upon return to the factory. The " R" on the barrel lower protrusion of one set, may be a marking indicating this. But I am only speculating.
If I were in the market for such a gun, I'd pay a lot more than whats been mentioned for this gun, due to the optional single selective trigger, ejectors, and what appears to be a 28" barrel set along with what appears to be 32" barrel set. Not many guns have the options that this one has and still in this condition.
