Just a Nitro Special..but...
At last months Board meeting, the subject turned to guns ?? One of the members said his father had a gun in a "little leather case", that he bought years ago..and thought it was a 20 gauge. He put 20 gauge shells in it and shot it once..He discovered it was a 16 and never shot it again..So..I told him to bring it to the next meeting. Last night he shows up with a LOM case..but it was about 2/3 the size of all I've seen. He opens it up..and out comes the best Ithaca 16 Nitro I've ever seen. Colors are 95%..wood is near perfect..and blue is outstanding with one scratch on left tube..26" barrels..Ithaca marked buttplate..and of course number match. I asked what he would take, and he said he gave $650 when he thought it was a 20..but would take $500 now..I offered $400 just because of condition..Should I go to $500 ?...thanks..jerry
