Different strokes...
I might repair the stock split,dress up the screw heads,..."Less is more" I'd call the rest honest patina. |

My thoughts on any gun with heritage as well, HiBC.
... but any idea on roughly when manufactured ? |

I THINK it is an NID made after 1927.

Thanks Jim.
I've emailed the friend's mother (whose husband it was) to have her find the Serial# |

Serial # should be on the flats when the gun is opened, also on the barrel and possibly on the inside of the forearm as well.
Seems to have fluid steel barrels, not stub twist or damascus so that would put it somewhere between the later 1900s and WWII. I have my Grandfather's Ithaca with fluid steel barrels and it is verified bought in 1909. Ithaca made twist barrels after that, so a twist barrel alone isn't a guarantee of the year it was made. other pics would be helpful
