Default My First American "Classic" Ithaca NID4E 12Ga.

I purchased my first American "Classic" SxS this past summer, a 1927 Ithaca NID4E 12Ga. 2bbl set. It came with a set of 30" bbls choke stamped 4/4(F/F) and as et of 24" 0/0(CYL/CYL).
After receiving it from the dealer I purchased it from online I was pleasantly surprised at what arrived and I immediately sent it to Stillwater Restorations for servicing and ended up having a bit of restoration work done to it at Chris's recommendation. While the gun was there being worked on I sent to the Cody Museum to see if I could get a letter for the gun and give me a bit of insight if the gun was ordered as a two bbl set or if the second set was an after thought. As it turned out it was factory ordered as a set. The letter does not give much info on delivery to whomever ordered it but there is a name and partial address.
Here are a few pre-restoration pictures....
