What is an Ithaca side by side shotgun with the numbers 148436 S12 second and smokeless powder steel stamped on it worth?

Answer 1

I'm trying to locate the same information. I have tried the bluebookinc.com site and am confused why I can't find any information on a Grade S. There is a Sousa model, which if you and I each have one of the eleven made that would be an eye-opener, not keeping my hope up on that one. My number is 140504, Grade S. Good luck, I'll keep looking. Answer: Both of your ser#'s are for Ithaca, Minier model shotguns manufactured in 1907. The Minier was only mfg from 1906-1908. It replaced the Lewis model. When Ithaca intruduced the Flues model in 1908, sales of the Minier fell to such an extent that most of the guns in inventory were marked as 2nd and sold at a reduced profit. The S12 stamp on the frame signifies it as a 12ga. field grade gun.
