That number is not that far off Matt. Only about 500 total between the two generations. 470,000 and 471,000 serial ranges.

Jack Jones was an in house engraver, but there may have been others. When I visited him several years ago he had two in the white guns that he was given when they shut down. Think one was a 20 and the other a 28 gauge. Wonder what happened to those guns after he passed. http://www.firinglineonline.com/detail.php?cat=1&id=841 |

Engraving was performed by many. Two additional that come to mind at the moment are:

Years ago after Steve Lamboy closed the business, the Hartman Bros. at Elmira Arms in NY had what they claimed was Steve's personal gun for sale, a 7E 28 ga. It was a beautiful gun; I never followed what happened to it.

The one I'm searching for is the ten gauge that Steve had at the Vintagers one year, at Sanonna. A one and only that never went into production.

Shooting Star
Another Ithaca Classic Doubles that I had the opportunity to buy a few years ago was this "Shooting Star" version that they made. But, again it was horribly left handed. I did get one of my left hand friends in Idaho to buy it. Unlike the other guns that they manufactured, this original Ithaca gun is a 32" field that they restocked, recased and reblued. You can tell by the serial number, which is 437258 and ICD added the SS in front of the SN. The wood and the checkering is really beautiful. I have some better pictures of it, but I can't locate them right now. These are actually listed in BlueBook now.
