Ithaca Lewis 20 Gauge
 

Was in my local gun shop today browsing what few used SXS they had and spotted a Ithaca Lewis 20 gauge. 26" beautiful Damascus barrels, looked uncut.. Advertised "DO NOT SHOOT" as all the Damascus guns there are, safety inoperable.. Overall looked pretty nice, they want $700. Anyone have any experience with one of these?

sounds like a good buy to me ive always wanted a small bore ithaca but im always broke when one turns up...you want find a cheaper one no where...charlie

Stock is broke but repaired crack is in the checkering.

What grade was it?
I have a grade 3 Lewis in 12 ga, and it is a beautiful gun

Are the barrels Chain Damascus?

Advertised as a grade 2.

I would have a hard time walking away from that. That repair can be repaired if it bothers you.

Is it in original condition or has it been refinished?

Here is a page from Dewey Vicknair's web log. He repaired a stock that had been 'repaired' in the past. It can be done. Good Luck!
