"Enders Royal Service" was a "trade brand" gun, actually made by H & D Folsom Arms Co., of 314 Broadway, NYC, at their factory in Norwich, Conn. I'm sure it started life lookng like this one marked Crescent Fire Arms Co., New Empire --

I wonder if that lovely little No. 2E Ithaca actually started life with a pistol grip of an Auto & Burgler?
 That stock, while of at least No. 4 wood, has the checkering pattern on the grip of the 1935 and later Field Grades. A half-pistol grip is pretty rare on NID era Ithacas. In fact the only one I've seen, before this, is on my No. 4E 20-gauge NID --

There is no indication in the records that the little Ithaca is or was anything other than shown. It is however, listed in the records as an Auto and Burglar gun, per Walt Snyder's Ithaca guns book.
Enders was one of many trade names for guns made by Crescent Arms Company, which was one of several companies controlled by Folsom. I do not own these guns, owned by a buddy, and I know he had the history of them before acquisition. |

I had a friend who had an Ithaca Auto & Burglar that had been redone (and looked factory) as a full gun when the little guns were outlawed.
not sure if it went back, or if it was short stopped on the way out when the law was enacted. the few folks I knew that shot the "pistol" version did not do it often
