Dean,

Thank you very much!

I can't wait to hold it! 4lbs. 15oz.

Any chance you took a full view of either side?

A trap gun has a higher stock.

Is it possible that this is a device that was intended to align the eye?

I believe so. I can't think of any other reason. Now we need to determine if it was factory installed... Anybody that knows, please chime in.

Wow!! A No. 2 Krupp Pigeon, in 28-gauge and with a straight grip!! What a great find!!



Must be from the first batch of 28-gauge guns Ithaca Gun Co. built. The 28-gauge isn't on the 1911 Ithaca Price List, but is listed in the 1912-13 Ithaca Gun Co. catalogues.

I agree with Big D. As long as your eye position doesn't change (rear sight) and the rib and front bead (front sight) has not changed in height, the POI will not change. The device looks like an aid to improve the sighting plane.

Dean, when cheeking the gun with a normal head position, could you still see the front sight?
