Craig, I don't think your looking at a Crass model Ithaca.
As per Walt Snyder's book "The Ithaca Gun Co. from the beginning", "No Crass were produced beyond serial # 50,000."
The Lewis model started at #55,000.
The MINIER model started in 1906 with serial # 130,000 to# 151770.
There are pictures in the book of higher grade Minier guns with Krupp Steel barrels. HTH
