Another Ithaca For The Collection

Post by Canuck »

Picked up this grade 3 yesterday on a dealers website. It was advertised as a Flues but pretty sure this is a Lewis. I bought it sight unseen on his word that barrels ring, tight on face, no cracks in the wood. Fingers crossed. And a model 12 trap today... :D

The Model 12 sure turned out be a very pleasant surprise. Based on the bore and a few other areas still covered in old cosmoline I can only surmise this gun is NIB unfired? There is zero indication it was ever fired, just assembled only.
What a beauty! Serial # places it at 1973 mfg.

I'm a SXS guy, but I'd take that Winchester any day.
