Ithaca Crass schematic

[Thomas Baker]

Just obtained a 1899 crass with missing parts. Does anyone have a schematic for this gun. Would like to make it operational.

Will this help?

Thanks. Yes it does. Did this come from a manual or book? If so do you know if it is it available for purchase? The text in the second attachment is unreadable and it seems to be usable info. Mine also has 2 flat springs that appear to put tension on each sear and trigger. I don't see that in the picture. I think they go below each mainspring and the bottom plate but that's a guess. I know there are 3 design versions of this Crass and I don't know which one I have. I acquired this gun disassembled along with a cigar box of parts. Now I at least know which parts go with this gun. Thanks for helping with that.
I know where the mainspring goes but don't have the foggiest idea how to compress it to fit under the hammer. Assembling this will be a learning process from start to finish, but thanks to these forums and help from knowledgeable guys like you, the process should be a little easier. Thanks again.

The pictures are from "The Ithaca Gun Company from the beginning" by W.C. Snyder, second edition.

Try "Bookfinder4U" I found it listed there, not sure what edition.

If you can find a schematic for Ithaca Lewis guns, that may be a help as well. I believe there is some similarities between the two models.
