Both wonderful examples of Ithaca's work. I'd say the second gun looks much more Ed Laytham to me. William McGraw would have been 16 at the time that gun was made. He first came to work at Ithaca Gun Co. at age 14 and became a full time employee at age 17. I really like the engraving on the pre-1915 Ithacas, but I don't find their profile/style particularly pleasing.
