According to Walt Snyder my 5E went to Phil Bekeart in San Francisco on May 31, 1929. Bekeart was a dealer and also a trap champion and sold a lot of Ithaca guns. Here is the front office of his store in SF; I imagine my Knick was ordered for stock or for a customer and of course I don't know if it passed through there, but kinda cool to think that it did...

I was lucky. Walt Snyder sent me provenance on all of my Knicks before the records went to Cody. One was the last Knick Sousa, the only one I've seen in original finish. They are some guns, almost as wonderful as Parker singles.
