Grand ole Ithaca. Congrats. Gerry Andrews is near you and would bring that wood back to its original glory. Gerry is a VERY good stockman. Good Luck with her.

Jim, I know Jerry quite well, we go way back, and yes recutting the checkering and refinishing the stock would really make it stand out. I'm about 20 min from Jerry's house.
I doubt I do anything with it now, however.

I really like chain Damascus and I will probably have to buy a gun with one at some point. I blame big friend ten and his beautiful L.C. smith. I really like the Ithaca do not understand why there is not a Ithaca double gun collectors association. It seems like any time there exists a collectors association for an existing gun company like Remington of Ithaca there is not a specific association for double guns.
