Thank you for posting. I love chain damascus. My guess is it is Latham engraved. Runge senior was also at Ithaca and I need to pin down the years. McGraw was there too but was pretty young. The dogs and the lettering is what I am going on. I knoe those old 10s had a lot of steel in them. Leads me to wonder if the tubes were available in various thickness. I bet the breech wall thickness is close to 1/4 of an inch?? Good luck on your project.

Nice! The engraving quality on your gun is so much better than the later years (IMO). Those dogs are excellent, as is the border work, the lettering and the scroll. Here's a later style Flues (I think it's also a 3E) for comparison.

It is listed as a Quality 3, a 1913 gun. Usually the dogs start on the Quality 4. There is a referrence to a order book page so it might have been a special order??

Walt, On p 316 of your 2nd Edition is a photo of a Gr 3 Floozie. Looks just like Jim's. PS I'm trying not to devour your book in a sitting, just dipping in here and there, trying to make it last.

Yeti, I must read that book again sometime.
James, I do not have the order books, unfortunately, for that time. All I have is the factory production journals.
