The O/U is made by Fausti in Italy and the SxS is made in Spain.
$500-$600, depending on condition, barrels, etc. Very pretty shotguns
Yes there are. I have seen one of them recently. It carried a marking indicating that it was made in Spain. I had never seen one before.
what is SxS
AYA, out of Spain, made some SXS shotguns with Revel on the receivers. I own one in .410 and it was a very beautifully made double barrel. It has hand select walnut wood and waqs finely finished.
Which Model? don't know for sure, number x24836 on barrel What kind of gun is it? SXS, O/U, pump, single barrel? O/U's were made by Marlin.

I cannot find a serial number that high in any of my Ithaca references. The link below will take you to a good summary of serial numbers for Ithaca shotguns, you may be able to find your model and date there-
Nobel was a mfg co. in there own right from about 1952 or 53 to about 1971. They made semi-auto, lever action and slide action rifles and they also imported side by side shotguns. The SxS's seem to a good shootable gun just not very collectible. The 410's SxS seem to command the the hightest price. I have seen double 12's for as low as $250 and the 410's as high as $750. Don't know much about the rifles but my double 12 is light weight and shoots very well
Not a lot of info on Noble. HQs in Mass, out of business in 1971. If your shotgun has no serial number, would have been made prior to 1968 (law did not require on shotguns until then) Extract from Blue Book of Gun Values-NOBLE MFG. CO.Previous manufacturer and importer of Spanish SxS shotguns located in Haydenville, MA 1953-1971.Noble manufactured semi-auto, lever, and slide action rifles and slide action shotguns, in addition to importing Spanish SxS shotguns. Shotgun models included the Model 420, 420 EK, and 450 E. While most models were relatively inexpensive, good working, utilitarian guns, there has been little collectibility to date and most rifles are seen priced in the $45-$150 price range while the shotguns are priced in the $75-$300 range, depending on gauge and features.
