Would be interested in seeing more of your gun. Do you know the grade level or model number? They switched from grade levels to model numbers in 1931. From the serial number I'm guessing a mid 1920's gun so likely identified by grade. (I'm guessing 1926)
Nice to see that it appears the wood along the top tang hasn't been buggered by NA smiths who don't know how to remove the stock. All too often the case with Ideals that have resided for any length of time in the US or Canada.
I own a Grade 6R EE Excelsior in 12 gauge from around 1920.
