If you post the serial number to include all serial number prefixes, we can approximate a production era; but the only way to determine the gauge without confirming same with a research letter, is to put a shell in the chamber to see what fits. But given that it is an Ideal Grade it was manufactured sometime between 1913 and 1950; so the only question remaining in that regard is whether it was made by Marlin or Hunter Arms. But there are other questions any collector would want to know beginning with frame size and optional features.
