Made in 1969. Info from Ithaca Gun Co. serial number check chart.
Since Wilkes Barre Gun co was only in business from 1892 to 1895 (then sold to Ithica) I am guessing yours was mfg in 1895 as the s/n break was around 1300 when Ithica took over. JT
Not enough information to answer. We need ALL markings and a description- Ithaca has been making guns a LONG time.
Can't be identified with just the serial number. Provide a detailed description of all markings, caliber/gauge, barrel length, condition, finish, sights, stock, box, papers, accessories, etc..
No records.
Firearms weren't required to have serial numbers until the passage of the Gun Control Act of 1968.

I believe they did... I haven't found much on it yet but I have one, from my father who who had it in the service back in the forties (or earlier). I'll post anything I find but so far I've heard they can be worth anywhere from a couple hundred to several thousand, depending on model, serial number and, of course, condition.
