Does anyone know about how many Grade 6 SXS Ithaca's were made? I know not many. I own a copy of Mr Snyder's book as well as many others on this topic and they all seem to skirt around a number. Is it possible that the Ithaca Grade 6 double and single barreled guns were special order only. I know that they would build what ever a customer asked for at the time but to me there is just something mysterious about grade six's. Do you think less than Grade 5's or less than Grade 7's? Even less than the Souza's? What's your comments.
Thanks Dan

Ithaca Gun Co. dropped the Grade 6 from their catalogue offerings Sometime between the 1919 catalogues and their 1925 catalogue.

I have a beautiful Ithaca Crass #6, made in 1903 with Single Trigger and Crown Steel barrels. [img:left]  [/img] [img:left]  [/img]

Another grade that does not seem show up to show up much is the
grade 3. I have one of the few that I have encountered-an early one in ten Ga. serial # 12xxx.

To my mind the pre-1915 No. 6 guns with their fine scroll and great dogs were the finest work to leave Fall Creek water power lot No. 6. For years there was a very nice pre-1915 Flues No. 6 12-gauge at many of the Harrisburg/York/Lancaster, PA., gun shows and it seemed no one would touch it because of its whacked barrels. What a shame.
The No. 1 and the No. 3 stayed in the Ithaca line thru the 1934 catalogues but it does seem to me that I see more No. 4s then No. 3s.
