Wow, that is just what I wanted to see.
What a pair! Almost hate to break it up. This is going to be a looong week...... Dean have you measured either of them? LOP, DAC, DAH? |

Fred, I gave your DAC and DAH measurements in my first post and your LOP is 13 3/4".
My LOP is 14 1/4" even though mine was ordered for a lady. The DAC of mine is 1 13/16" and the DAH is 3 3/16". If yours isn't long enough for you the butt plate can be easily removed and a period correct pad can be installed without altering the butt at all except for a couple of screw holes if the screws for the pad don't line up with the original screw holes. And, of course you'll save the original butt plate. Does anyone know what a period correct pad would be for this 1911 Ithaca?... Researcher? |

Thanks Rick. The focus of that thread was a 1923 Ithaca Grade 2 Flues but there is a little information on earlier pads.

Congratulations to both of you on finding these guns. The 28 has about the thinnest breech balls I think I've ever seen. Those are "carry all day guns".

Thanks Dave -
Both models' serial numbers run concurrently and I had presumed that because of the difference in frame sculpting that Fred's was a Flues and mine, being obviously different, was the NIG. Thanks for the explanation. Any thoughts as to why the two very different frame sculpting styles existed in the same model, one being a 1910 production and the other being a 1911 production? |
