Help with Crass

[Joe Penkala]

Interesting. How were the ejectors tripped for the fired barrel.

Just realized I had patent 593616 for Smith's ejectors in my research but had not paid much attention to it since I only look for ejectors in high end guns (which mine does not appear to be) and since I was only familiar with ejectors housed in the forend. Thanks for the info. I'll look the patent over and see where I can get. I''m liking this gun more and more.

Joe, the photos you posted do not resemble anything at all on my own Ithaca Crass (1897 manufacture, based on the s/n list)...

mine looks just like what KCordell posted...

I believe that mine is an extractor model with most of the extractor parts missing.

Sorry I meant ejector not extractor. Senior moment.
