Description:

Produced between 1925 and 1934, the Auto & Burglar gun is not a sawed-off shotgun, but a factory produced short barreled shotgun marketed towards security personnel, bank guards, homeowners and travelers who felt the need for a compact and potent weapon. Built in small batches from regularly produced sporting actions, the Auto & Burglar is fitted with a 10 1/10" ribbed barrel set, marked "SMOKELESS POWDER STEEL" and "MADE IN U.S.A." on top, with wavy line engraving around the breech, 2 3/4" chambers and a single brass bead sight on the matte rib. Each side of the casehardened frame is marked "AUTO & BURGLAR GUN/ ITHACA GUN CO. ITHACA, N.Y." with a scene of a dog, a field and a pair of starburst accents, with additional starbursts on the underside of the frame and trigger guard. Checkered short forearm and smooth pistol grip stock, with the sharp angled bend designed to ease the blow of firing. Also included is a brown leather flap holster, designed to be worn on the hip, secured to a steering column, or otherwise placed as needed, marked "Auto & Burglar Gun/ MADE BY/ ITHACA GUN CO/ ITHACA, N.Y." on the flap. Please note that this weapon is classified by the National Firearms Act as "Any Other Weapon", and it is the responsibility of the buyer to ensure that they are in compliance with all laws and regulations, Federal, State, and other, regarding such weapons.

Rating Definition:

Excellent metal, with 98% of the original blue finish, showing some minor streaking of the finish, fading to a bright gray along the high edges and at the breech and muzzle, and minor handling marks overall. Approximately 97% vivid case colors are visible on the frame, with some minor scratches and tool marks. Forearm is excellent, with sharp checkering and strong varnish, and the grip is the exception as it has been revarnished and repaired, with mended cracks on either side and an excellent grain pattern. Holster is good, with the flap button detached but included and some scuffing and wear along the edges and down the sides of the leather. Action is very good.
