Very nice! Maybe we can meet at Thomas Hill this year for a quail hunt (if there are any), and you can break that beauty in.

If there are any, being the key.... I have a few on my place, but man it's a jungle and getting a shot at one would challenge the greatest of grouse shooters. :-)

Great save!! That is an interesting checkering pattern on that forearm. Most post cocking indicator No. 2s I've seen have a wraparound checkering pattern on the forearm.

The serial numbers all match up...... So, I guess that is odd.
Mine is a 1938 gun....

This is another 1938 gun here, 12ga...
https://www.gunsamerica.com/91577524...2-12-gauge.htm It has same checkering as mine on the forend and stock. I suspect, that by 1938 Ithaca was just doing the same forend pattern on both the lefever A-Grades, and the Grade 2 Ithacas.

The Split pattern was common on pre-NID No. 2s. On a Lewis Model No. 2E --

I did some poking around, the two 1938 g2 NIDS I could find pics of, both had the split checkering..... I also saw some 1940 g2 NIDs, and they had the wraparound pattern....
Do, did they just do that in 1938? I dunno, but the serial numbers stamped in the wood, match all the other serial numbers on the gun, so I do not believe someone slapped a Lefever Agrade piece of wood into it....
