Thats so true Dean. Lately the 16's have been coming my way The Ithaca's are a great gun and a real value in today's double gun marker IMHO. Congrats on a nice find.

This from a 1935 issue of National Sportsman.

The only option my Ithaca doesn't have is the selective single trigger.

congratulations Russ!! I'll bring my new to me GH 16 O frame. Maybe you wont need that DH 20 damascus now??

Dean, looking at your magazine ad that gun doubled in price with the options, WOW. I think the gun above it is the gun KC miller used (in 410) to shoot the first 100 straight in skeet (supposedly) before switching to a VHE. Correct me if I'm wrong Mr. Murphy.

That wouldn't surprise me one bit. I had a Skeet-er .410 with all of the skeet options shown, including the Miller single selective trigger, in the ad and the very first time I brought it to the skeet field I broke 24 straight.... the one I missed was station 1 high house, my very first shot. After that the little Skeet-er pretty well knew exactly what to do to the rest of them.

I just had this conversation the other day Dean, I will take various guns to the skeet range and consistently miss #1 high (amongst others). I think the varying DAH's I have make #1 high the hardest to adjust to IMO. The more drop, the more I tend to miss #1 it seems. Either that or I just can't shoot worth a damm.
