A Special Gun on a Special Day

[Drew Hause]

Thanks Wayne. Walt obviously knows, but my Crass catalog only shows Grade 6 as the top of the line. Grade 7 may mean Special Order. Lewis models had Grade 7. Researcher should know.

Stan, I hope to see the gun at the Southern or Northeast at Ernie's. Stop by the Lefever tables. Bob

[Stan Hoover]

Thanks Bob,

I will bring it to Sanford, Lord willing and the creeks don’t rise!

Maybe Stan will have that at the Northern SxS in July shooting for Team Ithaca? Team Ithaca is poised to win the Manufacturer's Cup. Vegas odds are 3-1 and leading the pack.

The Crass guns can be the prettiest of all the Ithacas. Here's a fine Grade 5 in super high condition.

Try this again!

I finally was able to take some pictures of the barrels, the upper barrels in the pictures being the 28” barrels, the 30” barrels on the lower side. In my earlier pictures, I had the. 28” barrels on the gun.

[Drew Hause]

The barrels have slightly different patterns, but are both a nice 3 Iron "Oxford"
I was hoping the tube maker's initials would be forward of the flats but don't see any.
This might be Daryl's, or maybe Walt's

2 wavy 'zipper' welds between the straight ribband edge welds. OR viewed another way, 2 full size 'scrolls' between 2 smaller scrolls compressed when the ribband edge was 'jumped'

Thanks Drew,

These old guns with Damascus are interesting!

Here’s another favorite of mine, Crass 4 10 gauge

Jeeez at first I thought you were indicating a .410 but now I see my mistake.
