I Finally Bought Another of my Favorites Today
A sweet little Ithaca Grade-2 twenty gauge with original 24” fluid steel barrels. I sold it about eight years ago and it’s just another of those things that make me question my sanity…
Well it’s back in my curatorship and I think I’ll hang on to it.
The friend I sold it to has terrible arthritis in his knees, hips and lumbar region of his back and has had to very reluctantly throw in the towel and call it quits as far as hunting and fishing go.
On the trigger guard bow engraved in beautiful script is Mrs. E. W. B. And I would dearly love to know who she was and who her husband E.W.B. was.
Any thoughts?
