Thanks for posting Red

Did you take the gun apart? Sometimes serial numbers are stamped into the bottom of the barrels, receive, and for grip. At least mine is. You could lookup the serial number and get a better idea about this gun.

Ya might contact His son who's running thing in Spokane and see what refurbishing would cost.
I pity the man that has never been loved by a dog!

Re: I inherated a AL Biesen ithaca shotgun today what is it
I know AL Biesen started out in Wisconsin but I have never seen one where it was hand etched into the barrel of a shotgun. But on the side of the stock it does look like some of his work. This had to be done in the late forties. Roger Biesen lives in Spokane should be able to help you. Al is still alive but no longer does any stock work. He is in his nineties. One of the above posts gave you the web address and phone number of his shop on W. Sinto street in Spokane. Roger and Al and his grand daughter work out of Al's basement.

Interesting...not a Crass, does not look like a Flues, not a NID.... maybe a Nitro or Western Long Range.
If original, Biesen's personal scattergun, perhaps.
To learn more, I would suggest http://www.doublegunshop.com.
Those fellas can ferret out all the info.
