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.

When I went searching for my first good side by side I had my heart set on a Fox but almost succumbed to the charms of a 16ga NID. I ended up with the Fox, but always thought I'd pick up an Ithaca at some point. Hasn't happened tho (except for my Knick 5E!). Some lovely ones here for sure!

I've posted this one before. My Ithaca Lefever NS .410. This is my opening day dove gun.
