Drew, thanks for correcting the statement about the Victory Grade Ithaca. The Victory Grade is identical to higher grade Ithaca singles and is not in any way similar to the late Lefevers. My Victory Grade Knick Model was apparently restocked at Ithaca at some time because it has the Victory checkering pattern but fancy wood similar to what Ithaca would put on the 5E. It is the first Victory Knick I have seen with fancy wood. By the way, my friend's Superba Grade Baker has the entire flock of fleur de lis as pictured in Dave's catalog image.
