Nice old ithaca but...............

[Dean Romig]

Is that a sidelock or a boxlock or some combination of both?

[Brent Francis]

Id call it a box lock. Baker designed it and Ithaca kept the basic Idea when they bought out Baker. The hammers are attached to the very back of the frame. The only things in the wood are the triggers and sears. It seems to have worked well since they continued selling them well after hammerless models were being sold. discontinued around 1910 or so
