Default Ithaca 4E 16
We recently saw pictures of Russ Jackson's Ithaca Grade 2 Pigeon, and I shared some of my Grade 3 Lewis. Into my life today walks a stunning Ithaca 4E 16. All original with the exception that a new Ithaca repro Sunburst recoil pad comes with the gun, but not yet installed. Old pad has collapsed. Beautiful wood, and Ithaca's checkering patterns are second to none. 28" tubes that may be F/F(drat)
, but I didn't have choke gauge or camera with me.
It is a little heavier than I prefer at about 6 3/4 lbs, like a 1 frame parker 16. Apparently, engraving patterns varied a lot thru the years, from what I could pull up off the internet. Were many 16 ga 4E's made?

If a member writes about a new gun but doesn't post photos, even a few cell phone snapshots, does the gun really exist?

as I have said before- should be a rule- we have rules about other posts - none are as critical as this one

Guys,

Harold Lee Pickens is a great guy! He just needs to remember his friends need a new gun fix.

Got a new gun? How about sharing it with your friends?

Mark

Cocking indicators came in with the NID Model in 1926. They were eliminated from the Ithaca literature in 1935. I have a .410-bore NID in the low 459xxx range and it has cocking indicators --



and a 28-gauge NID No. 1 in the higher 459xxx range without --



Here is a 16-gauge 1941 vintage NID No. 4E --
