The late and great Art Twarz gave me a box of stuff that had been laying around the checkering area. Here is one that fits the front end pattern of a 7 that I shoot. The template was for a shorter FE, maybe a field grade but thought some here might enjoy seeing a vintage Ithaca tool.

Walt, What material was the template made from? We use xray film today, but that looks like thin gauge sheet metal.
Did you find a template for the fleur?
Thanks, Steven

It is 18 thousandts sheet metal. I thought it might have tin plate but don't see any traces of tin . Have others but I do not have a fleur template. Have a photo of Keith Houghtling holding one that was used for the mid ribbon of a grade 4 and 5. His was made of thin brass.

That's a nice artifact of American shotgun craftsmanship history. Gil

I have a whole bunch of similar templates that came from the fox factory.
