Thank you for this thread.
I've been meaning to ask about a 1919 - Serial # 308761 - 1 1/2 - floral engraving as in your above pic but with matching serial # CHAIN DAMASCUS BARRELS - 30".
1)How unique/rare would this combination be, seeing this late date of mfg?
2)Is it likely that this was a 'semi-custom' or 'special order'? (Or someone said "hey, here's an extra set of
chain damascus barrels, let's throw them on this 1 1/2" - LOL)
3)Weren't chain damascus barrels typically used on higher grade guns?
4)Please remind me which year Ithaca catalog dropped damascus barrels as an option?
5)Is it still possible to get information on specific, individual guns by serial #?
Good to be back
