IMHO Ithaca had some of the prettiest engraving and nicest wood of all the American SxS’s. These guns are all proof of that!

Those guns look so much better than the guns with "flying turnips" and head up/head down stoat".

I have not,

I need to do some more looking, a simple google search comes up empty. I was hoping for a few hints from some of our more accomplished historians

Stan, those are beautiful guns. Hard to believe there could be higher grades.
