Unless I think a gun might be unsafe, I shoot everything that I own, including an 1816 flintlock musket. Also old Sharps rifles, a Burnside and Smith carbine. Old Colt pistols, two Navy's - lots more.
I don't have any real pristine Parkers. But I've got a very nice Sterlingworth and Lefever and I shoot them both.
This Ithaca is a beauty and I would not hesitate to shoot it with Polywad or similar shells.
