Ithaca Catalogs
I did a little digging this evening and I checked 1912 & 1915 Ithaca Gun catalogs. These catalogs that I was checking were not marked as to the year, but I believe these to be the catalogs from those years.
In the 1912 catalog, Ithaca did offer 2 different options of the Grade 2.
An option with Krupp Steel barrels which they note as a, No. 2 Krupp Pigeon Gun. Barrels-Genuine Krupp Fluid Steel Barrels,the same quality as our high grade guns $70 List
Second option was with Damascus barrels, same engraving as No. 2 Krupp gun Barrels- Imported Damascus steel with figure as shown in cut, formed by weaving and welding ribbons of iron and steel together. $60 List
In the 1915 catalog the No. 2 is only offered with Krupp barrels and they make no mention of the Krupp Pigeon gun.
The 2 catalog pictures are from an original 1912 catalog and I also included pictures of 2 envelopes that I thought were rather interesting.
