Original recoil pad?

[Leon Nelson]

Could this recoil pad have been original on a 1905 grade D?

That appears to be an Ithaca starburst pad.

Sunburst

Isn't 1905 too early for an Ithaca Sunburst pad??

Dave will know by memory, but if I remember correctly, 1932.

[Bill Murphy]

There was a time when Ithaca promoted the sale of their pads on the sporting goods market.

[Drew Hause]

Stan is correct.



The aluminum base was introduced about 1950

Stan's the man when Ithacas are involved.

Look at that gun very carefully especially the top rib extension where it meets the top rib.

Thanks. You have sharp eyes. Just might have saved me from myself
