There's more I forget than remember! The main difference is the frames were malleable iron rather than steel.

But were the Ithaca made, Monty Wards Western Fields guns, real Nitro Specials or Western Arms? Do they have the steel frame of the NS or the iron frame of the WA?

My Monty looks identical to my NS except for the minor differences noted above.
