This may be the epitome of a "closet queen!" It's a good story when someone who knows what it really is finds a nice old gun like this. Not all good guns go to a good home to live happily ever after.
Ithaca sure could make a light gun, especially in the wonderful -- in my probably not nearly humble enough opinion (IMPNHE) -- 16 gauge.
