That’s a fine Grade 2 10 bore magnum! I collected NID’s for many years, especially small bores and the Big 10! I had all the Grades up to 5. I found many of the guns were ordered with extras like ejectors, single triggers and beavertail forends. I suspect that buyers of these guns wanted them for specialized reasons and could afford the increased cost, even during the Depression. The Miller inspired single selective trigger you have in your gun, is, in my opinion, the best one ever made for all around use. Backing up a few decades, Walt Snyder (Mr. Ithaca) would supply me with much information, often including the original sales invoice. Hopefully, Cody has those and will supply them. Enjoy your new acquisition. It’s a dandy!
