Description:

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.

Rating Definition:

Exceptionally fine, with 90% plus original blue finish, showing a few small areas of brown patina, bright edge wear, and minor handling marks. 85% of the original bright case colors are present on the frame, with the remainder smoothly fading to silver or showing light spotting. The wood is also very fine, with minor dents and scuffs overall and a notch cut into the back of the pistol grip. Mechanically excellent.
