I have a Ithaca SxS serial no 467661 it is a 5e has 2 barrels one 30" one 32" both serial numbered to the reciever. One barrel says Sir Joseph Wintworth on top the 32". This gun is on a magnum frame. Walt's book says there maybe only 9 of these guns but it also says serial no's are 5000,000 and above. My question is how rare is this gun? Thanks, Bill

I'm not saying that the gun is not on a magnum frame, I was saying that all 3" Magnum guns are stamped with chamber length on barrel flats. There were 2 3/4 mag guns built. I would not doubt that there are some 3" guns floating around with sub 500000 serial numbers either. I was simply stating that all 3" guns were appropriately marked.
