I have acquired a nice old Ithica that I can't I.D. I need some help, It has 3 above 12 on water table= grade 3, Krupp steel barrels...I can't match it to any Ithica's I see listed on line? Pins and screw locations do not match up? See my pictures...thanks SXS Ohio

It is absolutely correct but like you, I can't identify the model.

The year of manufacture will help to narrow it down to just two or three models.

The gun in question is the short-lived Minier Model, 1906 to 1908. Serial numbers 130000 to 151770. And, it is spelled ITHACA!!

It is a Minier, and a nice example, and looks Kornbrath engraved to me. Tha patina is really nice....by looking at the butt, it is obvious that countless rounds have been launched from this fine old smokepole, but the metal work, and what wood to metal shown, indicates decades of decent maintenance. Have a soft spot for graded Ithacas....

I have begun to think that correcting that is a lost cause,



might i add a bumper sticker to remember it by

Kenny, very nice Grade 3. I just sold my Grade 3 with chain link damascus barrels, and now have sellers remorse after seeing yours.
