Ithaca grade 3 Lewis
Dropped my wife off at the airport, she will be in Fla. for 10 days. Stopped at a little gun store and an old Grade3 Lewis 12 ga , with chain Damascus barrels was singing its siren song. Looking up the serial #, it appears to be from 1902. The gun is in overall good shape. The bores look good, the Damascus pattern still in good shape, with a couple minor dents. Nicely engraved, no case color, pretty wood with a chip out of the fore arm. I googled Ithaca Collectors Assoc, but guess their is no such org.
Since I was in my wifes car I didn't have my tape measure, choke gauge, etc. I'm pretty sure $500 will take it home, but I don't know diddly about Ihtacas. no pictures sorry--good deal?
I will need to go back and study it if I cant get it off my mind. Think I will pull out the old DGJ's and look at Ithacas.
