Run With The Fox Sidelock Joined: May 2008 Posts: 8,158 Likes: 114 Michigan	Nope- Just 100% sure it's NOT a NID-- and by the way, do I see sling swivels installed? Wonder why anyone would want that feature on a clays/live bird gun?? On a German drilling, yes, but on this Flues 2E 12, what useful purpose do they serve?

Walt's records, this would be a gun worth investigating. More about Smith https://www.trapshooters.com/threads/vintage-trapshooting-book-from-the-1930s-cool.614737/ He was NY State Amateur Champion in 1930 (200x200) and 1931. He ran a shoot in 1921 https://books.google.com/books?id=28g6AQAAMAAJ&pg=PA518&lpg The LOP looks to be short. Could the gun have been for his wife? https://sites.google.com/a/damascusknowledge.com/www/home

I need to set up a tripod to photograph better, you�d be surprised how much the trampoline moves when photographing. Positivity is a wonderful thing, regardless of the shape (or brand) there is incredible history here, choose to take what you want from it. It may be just an Ithaca, but that was ok for Sousa, Roosevelt, and about 300,000 others! Also thanks to the knowledgeable- I bought copies of two of Smith�s books this am. Little reading never hurt anyone.
