Well, looking through the blue book I don't see any Ithaca M87 listed as a "Deerslayer Featherlight". I see 3 different models called "Featherlight" somewhere in the name, and 11 different models with "Deerslayer" in the name out of the 40+ different M87's listed.

I don't see any listed that came with two barrels. (Deerslayer or Featherlight)

What I -suspect- you have is a Featherweight, and someone purchased the Deerslayer barrel separately. That at least narrows it down to 3 rather than 11!

One of the 3 is a "Ruffed Grouse Society" special edition, so we eliminate that one.

Of the two that are left, a 90% gun in 20g listed from $235 - $500, depending on which of the two it is (if it is in fact either one of them). You could tack on another $75 - $100 for the 2nd barrel.

Are you sure you don't mean "Model 37"?

The M87 was an updated model 37 released in 1987 chambered in the 3" length for the 12 gauge. My guess is that all the pumps were called M87s at that time. Just a guess.
