A Special Gun on a Special Day

I hope to have an 8 gauge Ithaca in the future, time will tell

It's a 5 pin Grade 6 Stan. Wow.
Another one of Walt's; a 6 pin with "American Flag" and I believe a Gr. 5

This is Wayne Owen's Gr. 6 6 pin with 4 Iron "Turkish"

The barrels look to be 3 Iron Crolle, but if you'll post a full size close up of about 8" of barrel where the contrast is most apparent I'll "read' the pattern.

Stan's gun is shown on page 37 in volume 1, issue 3 of the Double Gun Journal, written by Walt Snyder. Walt describes the gun as " a beautiful old Ithaca Crass with Grade 7 quality engraving. Most likely a custom gun as there is no grade designation and the checkering pattern is style 4".

So you’re thinking of adding a set of 8 gauge barrels to one of your NID 10 mags ?

Not sure Craig if I can make it happen, but a few of my Magnum 10 barrels sets OD measurements are very similar to the 8 gauge barrels. Now obviously the 7 frame Parker barrels are much larger.
If it's possible, not sure.
