I added another one last week - a 1926 field grade Ithaca (or ithica to the hooked on phonics fans) super 10.

I've tried to find an honest one for a while, so the fourth time's the charm I finally found one with full chokes and unmolested chambers. Metal is honestly worn, but it does need wood work. The top of the stock head needed repair on both sides and the comb at some point was sanded down so someone could use their left eye, once again a story lost to time, war injury? simple accident?

I'll fill that gap and use it as a pattern to build a new stock, but will shoot it ugly this season
