Any connection to Boa on 99% of Ithaca letters refer to his position as an Ithaca sales representative. He was a high average shooter with probably more than one Ithaca single, but his name was associated with hundreds of Ithacas. Boa's name is on the original order for my Sousa Knick, which he took to the 1930 Grand American with a bunch of other guns. He sold the Sousa, apparently at the Grand.
