Ithaca Auto & Burglar Model A Double Barrel Smoothbore Pistol, Class III/NFA AOW C&R

Produced between 1925 and 1934, the Auto & Burglar Gun was marketed as a defensive weapon first and foremost, something to keep strapped to a nightstand or steering column in case you found yourself in over your head. 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. Matching numbers are present on the barrel and frame, with a sharply angled and checkered pistol grip.

ConditionGood, showing a mixed gray patina overall, pitting concentrated on the left barrel, and mild handling marks overall. Some traces of case color are still present on the frame, and the wood is good with mild dents and scuffs. Mechanically very good. 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. It is also classified as a "Curios or Relic" as defined in 27 CFR, 478.11. These weapons are also subject to the provisions of 18 U.S.C.
