Twice Barrel - I had Turnbull do an NID for me some years back. When I lay it down next to a couple of Ithaca SBTs I bought new, I have to say it's as good a representation of Ithaca colors I could have hoped for.

Walt - here's a question for you. Early on, the checkering on Ithaca's higher grade guns utilized a double-cut or two-line border. At what point in time did they go to the simpler borderless patterns, or was it one of those whimsical changes that took place gradually?
