I picked up this 12ga Ithaca up over the summer. It seems like a a worthy project, though I haven’t done anything to it yet. It needs stock work, a mechanical cleaning and the left firing pin in not installed though I have it. I believe this is a 1897 gun, it’s cool that it has ejectors, nothing better than a damascus gun with ejectors and the right side dog engraving looks a little like my dog.

It feels and looks like the equivalent of a Parker on a #3 frame. It weighs 8 3/4lbs. Barrels are 30 inches and the bores are mint. I always like a straight stock. I will get it sent out for some much needed attention in 2025. Should be wonderful when it is fixed.
