OK, I sealed the deal today. It's a 1929 Ithaca "star" NID, .410, 28" bbls, ejector, DT. I saw the gun about 5 yrs ago in the same store, but hesitated. It got sold and I think went to a member here. Evidently, it was returned. I mentioned it to the store owner and he was very surprised I remembered the gun. He said he still had it and went to the safe to pull it out. He never put it back on the market after it was returned. I haven't seen a 28" NID ejector (410) in a store or the net since, that I can recall.
I looked it over and it was the same gun. He hesitated about selling it. Then said he would and we worked on a deal to hold it. His concern was shipping to Calif. I told him I would take the initiative to find out what was needed. I did. C&R long guns are exempt from the new verification approval system when a Calif based C&R purchases from out of state.
