Great find Allen
As Dave said, a two bolt model. They made less than 300 of these. Its production was at the point in time that Ithaca shifted its emphasis to the hammerless models. The 32" AA barrels ad to the rarity. The bores look perfect.
The early N.I.G.'s used leaf springs and placed the hammer pivot point very close to the back of the frame. It is common to see the frame cracked at the tumbler hole.
The drop at heel is way too much for most shooters. Beyond that a nice piece of American hammergun history.
