Help with value of two Ithicas

[TEC]

I have a pair of Ithaca Model 100 SXS shotguns in 20-ga 3" Mod/Imp, 25 in bbl, and 12-ga. 2 3/4" Mod/Imp 26 in. bbl. Both are marked "Custom Crafted for Ithaca by SKB". Made in Japan. The 12-ga. is more highly engraved. I bought both LNIB circa 1986 at a gun show and they have been gun safe queens ever since. I have fired them maybe once. Both have single select triggers, raised, vented ribs with red fiberoptic front sights. Bluing is 100% Bores perfect. Wood 98-99% (each has a small pressure ding from being in the gun safe). 20-ga. ser# S610xxx, 12-ga. ser# S513xxx (last photo retouched to obscure ser#

Thanks.

95% - 100% = $490 - $695
Add 20% for 20 ga
Add 10% - 15% for fully engraved receiver with pheasant, or duck/quail and dog game scene if in 98%+ condition
Sub 15%-25% if w/less than 50% engraving coverage
(source, 30th Blue Book of gun Values; SP Fjestad)
(that be retail ... wholesale be 60% of that)

So, in a trade for someone asking $350 for a rifle (nice Marlin 39A 22 S, L, LR), the Ithica 20-ga. would be worth more like $550-600?

Would you be interested in selling the 20 ga. outright? If so, what would you want for it? PM me if interested.

I was exploring the possibility of a trade for a nice rim fire (Marlin 39A or Browing BL22) as I don't bird hunt and when I did, didn't really prefer the SxS. But fear I am a babe in the woods when it comes to gun-trading. I do know these shotguns are near perfect condition, though I don't still have the box. They have been gun safe queens for more than 20 years.

But this isn't the correct forum for that activity. I was more interested in the worth of the shotguns. Thanks.

I paid $600 at auction for an Ithaca/SKB Model 200E 20ga S/S several years ago and when I see them now they are higher. The 200E is a fancier shotgun than yours, more engraving and a gold trigger.
