Ithaca Firearms

Well, isn't that a lovely question! The age of a Falls Arms 12 gauge Nitro Special can vary depending on its specific serial number and production year. You may want to consult with a firearms expert or do some research to determine the exact age of your particular shotgun. Just remember, each firearm has its own unique story to tell, much like a beautiful painting waiting to be discovered.

The value of a SKB semi-auto model 7900 can vary depending on its condition, age, and any additional features it may have. To determine the specific value of a particular SKB 7900, it is recommended to consult with firearms experts or appraisers who specialize in shotguns. Factors such as the gun's overall condition, any modifications or customizations, and current market demand can all influence its value.

Good to very good condition can range from $350-$450 and up according to sold items in auctions from Egunner to Gun Broker.

The information provided is insufficient for an answer to be provided. What you are providing appears to be a serial number. Ithaca manufactured Handguns, Rifles and Shotguns. If it's a handgun it could be a 1911A1 and either a military manufacture or the 50th Anniversary model. The military model would be worth somewhere between $325 and $800 depending on condition. If its the anniversary model it would be worth $360 to $695, again depending on the condition of the pistol. The only other choice is the X-Caliber Single Shot in .22 LR worth between $125 to $295. Is it a Rifle ? If a rifle is it a bolt action, lever action, semi-auto or a single shot. What is the model. What is the caliber ? Rifle values range from $60 to $400 depending on the model, caliber and condition. Is it a shotgun ? If a shotgun is it a side by side, over/under, semi-auto, single shot, or a pump action. What gauge, what model. Shotgun values range from around $55 to $9,500, depending on the model, gauge, type, and condition. This probably isn't a lot of help, but there's not a lot of information to go on. Additional info - The X-Caliber was actually made in several calibers and is fairly rare. I just saw a 22LR (new condition) sell for $599, and that is the first I have seen sell for less than $1,000. I'll buy all you can find at $295 :-) Otherwise, I agree. (If the gun in question is an old double barrel, it is probably a Flues Model made in 1919.)

Made in 1919. Either a Flues or NIG model. Value depends on condition, but probably around $350.

If in very good condition it should bring $125-$150.

bout 50-100 years old

1909; if in good condition it's probably worth around $700-800, as the smaller gauges guns bring more than the 12 Ga does.

40-400 USD if all original

1905

Are you talking about Ithaca, Greece or Ithaca, New York? Ithaca, Greece is an island in the Ionian Sea off the west coast of Greece, and it's the home of Odysseus in Homer's "The Odyssey." Ithaca, New York is a small city in upstate New York, in the Finger Lakes Region of central New York State, and it's the home of Cornell University and Ithaca College. There are several other places named Ithaca in other states.

It seems like you may be referring to the Ithaca SKB over-under shotgun, which is renowned for its durability and quality craftsmanship. The Lightning model typically refers to a particular version of the SKB shotgun with a distinctive engraving and finish. These shotguns are popular among hunters and sport shooters for their reliability and performance.

Based on the serial number, you have a "Flues Model". According to the 2002 Standard Catalog of Firearms:

The Flues model Ithaca gun was built on a three piece lock mechanism invented and patented by Emil Flues. Introduced in 1908, it remained in production through 1926 when it was replaced by the Ithaca New Double. It was offered in gauges 10, 12, 16, 20, and 28, and enjoyed the longest production life of any Ithaca double gun. Several grades were offered beginning with the Field grade and ending with the Sousa Special. The Flues model had the same bolting system as used on the (earlier) Minier model. Any grade could have been ordered with automatic ejectors at extra cost. A single selective trigger made by the Infallible Trigger company was offered after 1914 and was the first single trigger offered from the company.

Qualities offered were: Field, 1, 1 Special, 1-1/2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and Sousa

NOTE: Add $200 for factory ordered single trigger, add $200 for automatic ejectors on grades lower than Grade 4. Small gauges command a price premium. A 20 gauge gun may command up to a 50% price premium; a 28 gauge field grade perhaps as much as 100%. The serial number range for the Flues is approximately 175, 000 to 399, 000. Expert appraisals are recommended on higher grade, small gauge models as they are seldom encountered.
