Description:

Produced between 1925 and 1934. Comes with a copy of a law firm letter that attributes the shotgun to one Floyd Patton, a banker from Blue Springs, Nebraska, who reportedly bought it after his bank got robbed. The letter states that the gun never needed to be fired in anger while owned by Patton. Fixed single bead sight, solid rib between the "SMOKELESS POWDER STEEL" and "MADE IN U.S.A." marked barrels, and both sides of the frame decorated with a pointer in a field over the "AUTO & BURGLAR GUN/ITHACA GUN CO. ITHACA, N.Y." markings. Checkered forearm and pistol grip stock, with the latter showing a nice curvature and very sharp raised web knuckle for recoil management. Includes a brown leather holster with Auto & Burglar branding on the flap.

Rating Definition:

Very fine, with 90% plus original blue finish, showing some light wear and handling marks. 80% plus bright case colors are present on the frame, and the wood is very good with some light dings. Mechanically excellent. NOTE: This weapon is registered as a National Firearms Act (NFA), AOW (Any Other Weapon). Although NOT a fully automatic weapon it is still controlled like a NFA weapon that is registered with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, (BATFE) under the provisions of 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44 and 27 CFR part 478.
