I like the B grade lifter a lot and would like to see more of it. I would be glad to make 25 thick base shells for the drilled out breech face. The Ithaca Knick has a blued receiver, so I guess "refinished" is a good bet.

This a 30” 12,

unfortunately it does not have matching hammers, so I will be posting photos of each hammer in hopes that I can find a matching hammer.

Not many grade 4 lifters with laminated barrels. I did some research at one point I will post when I get a chance. Here is another that looks like a twin.

I’m getting a bad case of lifter envy (that is a thing, right?)

Yup, it’s a thing. I’ve owned several Lifters. I have no idea what made Parker Bros. think the top action was some kind of improvement… the Lifter action is so much more ergonomically designed and more simple to use.

Craig,
that gun is somewhat of a mystery, hoping to find someone who can tell me more about the gun.
It is a 10 gauge and the only markings are on the top rib, Lancaster Arms, Lancaster PA.

Lancaster Arms was the company formed by Alfred Harvey Worrest who patented the Infallible Single Trigger in the early 1900's. I have not found any evidence that he produced any firearms, I will post better pictures so hopefully someone can give clues as to who produced the gun. It has rather extensive engraving and is in great condition.
My interest was sparked because of my home being close to Lancaster.

Stan
