Steve, is that a 7E or a Sousa?

Bill,

She's a 1918, 7E, 34"er ordered by a noted trap shot from the Cincinnati vicinity (some of DuBray's old haunts). It came with a wonderful letter from an Ithaca marketing VP touting its stellar workmanship and relative scarcity (one of a dozen or so). Was planning an article on it for the DGJ, alas we know the sad tale there.

I have a dedicated section of my safe with some Ithacas. My favorite is an early Flues 20 gauge, but I can't find a photo of it, so here's some color to add to the thread.

My Ithacas have been problem free, including my Knick Sousa.
