Gary,
I will say one thing, you're looking for a SBT Ithaca at the right time, it is a buyers market for sure.
I was looking for a 34" Knick for awhile, not beating all the bushes, but I found one last summer that had a half pistol grip which was bonus. I've never encountered a Knick before with a half pistol grip always full pistol grip with cap or the more rare straight grip.
Now of course there's another 34" Knick that surfaced, so far I've been able to talk myself out of it
