On the original gun posted about, That curled return on the “loy’esque” line engraving is very different, and attractive. Behind the breech balls. Beautiful.

Truly beautiful. Mark, I love the floor plate engraving on yours. My 4E NID 16, not near as nice, pheasant on one side, ducks on the other, and just scroll on the bottom.

I looked at a 7E 32" double trap over the weekend that was magnificent.

Default Flues 16 Grade 3

I like this era of flues for the damascus, wood, and engraving. They tend to have more drop which I need. This gun has 30" tubes and is easy to look at and throws great patterns.

I've held that gun Richard, when I was at the Moores. It's as sweet as it looks. I have a little 20 like Marks, same year, along with 4 other Flues of different grades in 12ga that have beautiful color along with excellent engraving. The Flues is my favorite of the Ithacas.
