Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
Okay then, Kathy's little Ithaca Grade 2 in twenty-gauge with original 24" barrels. Trigger guard bow is engraved with "Mrs. E.W.B." and I have not been able to discover who she was.
Sweet handling little gun nonetheless.

I've shot it a few times at Addieville and took it grouse hunting. It's a pretty cute shootin' little gun. I like it. It's just a whisker over 5 lbs.

There were several nice Ithacas being shot at Hausmanns. Austin Hawthorn had a sweet 20 ga with factory 24" barrels, cant remember what grade, but was either a 2 or 4. There was a group of gent.s and their kids shooting, and almost all shot very nice graded Ithacas. There is an Ithaca collectors forum that I occassionally go to , but the posting there is very infrequent.

Nice NID. What year is it from? I have a 1941 vintage No. 4E 16-gauge and my forearm isn't carved like that. Also the engraving is a bit more sparse by that late date.
