Bill,

I noticed that one of these Ithaca Magnums had cocking indicators, I had never noticed that on a Ithaca Magnum frame before, was I just not being observant or is this a rarity?

I did some digging and did find one other later Magnum with indicators. these Magnum Ithaca's were started around 1932, so I guess there may be some out there
