Walter pictures a 16-gauge NID Field Grade, serial number 461345, with 22-inch cylinder and improved cylinder barrels, a single non-selective trigger, with its hang tag on page 327 of the Second Edition of his book. Walter calls it an "Uplander" but that term doesn't appear on the hang-tag.
In my pretty complete collection of NID period catalogs and price lists I've not seen such a gun offered. Guess it was one of those "you had to know somebody" items!! |

I believe Walt sent me provenance on the ten gauge Flues 22" gun. As I posted, I don't remember who the original purchaser was. NID28, don't question my statements on provenance until you know me better.

Bill==I never questioned your provenance on anything and have no clue what you're talking about. I told James Palmer--who asked about a factory letter--that I don't think it's possible AT THIS TIME, from Cody. I've gotten many provenance details from Walt over many years and your posting never entered into my thinking or response.

Yup, Walt was my source, as well as on other Ithaca guns, including my Sousa Single. I think he is a good source.

Walt has very kindly helped me on a few Ithacas in the past several years.

Wouldn't want to be in that duck blind when that 22" 10 ga went off!!

I missed my chance to buy the 22" Flues ten at a reasonable price. It was a mint gun with fluid steel barrels. NID28, you most certainly did question my statement on the provenance of the 22" ten gauge Flues. I saw your post as a statement that I had lied. Try again. I am a serious researcher and I don't lie. How about an apology?
