1897 Ithaca Crass Grade 3 Engraver?
My latest acquisition was inspired by the engraving. Though not in especially fine condition I was drawn to it because the Ithaca engravers at that time (Parker also), Edward Lathham or Joseph Loy, may have applied the engraving. If someone here with an experienced eye can identify the work illustrated in the photos I would greatly appreciate it.
Of note, 12 Gauge, 28" barrels, the furniture is in very nice condition but the Chain Damascus could use refreshing. Serial number 29614. When the gun is in hand I can provide better photos.
Do the Ithaca factory records reveal enough pertinent information warranting a letter request? Thank you, Bruce
