VERY interesting and thank you Rick. Corporate espionage or just some loose lipped gun execs yaking after a round of golf and more rounds of drinks??
Interesting that the Ithaca NID Skeet Special was advertised in the July 1926
National Sportsman,
only 2 months after the game was named! Was the Ithaca Gun Co. tipped off in advance of the announcement in order to accelerate production of a designation skeet gun? Hunter Arms didn't get a skeet gun out for 2 more years, but managed to borrow Foster's logo for the left lockplate, headed in the other direction
BTW: our local library branch is getting me Ron Gabriel's
American & British 410 Shotguns
