Incredible wood Jack-but what's the deal with 'YYHACA.N.Y .'? (just asking and NOT being a wise a**) Is the left side Ithaca similar? and that pheasant needs to have a thyroid check!(that was sorta smarta**  )

Doc:
I like the dogs and curlicues better but this is what I got. I also think the Chinee Chicken looks constipated; the duck looks slightly more natural but only slightly.
I just looked at the gun and it's clearly "Ithaca" on both sides and I don't detect an abrasion or nick. Photos can reveal a good deal of gnrr and phnu which aren't always apparent otherwise. I have a color photo of a figure in a grey shroud[?] with hood sailing an old Lippincott Comet. It should be me sailing it but I was wearing a white t-shirt? Bit eerie. Comes under the heading trick of the light or somebody else's problem--I hope!

The script is slanted to the left, and with the endplates on the cross of the 'T' it looks from this angle like YYHICA.

Rabbit, I am almost sure these were the ones you mention:   JC(AL)

O Capt. (Curl), My Captain -
Had to pop another Norvasc when I viewed your '31 Purdey! - Elmer must surely be spinning in his grave at this baby. Definitely a 'Pinchon Hammer' with that 1 1/4 oz. proof. Latest - heard the Doc cleaned Niles & Kim for another screamer Watson Bros. 2-bbl. smallbore on the way home from he 'Vinegars.' "Researcher" and I dropped in there Sunday on the way home thinking that the Doc had succumbed to that 16-bore Woodward - the lovely Kim set us straight with a private viewing of the new Watson set. I was so smitten (with the Watson, of course) that I bought another rare and valuable dog trophy out of the display case. Since I couldn't have the Watson (or the Woodward!) and didn't like the naked woman motif on the Bodsen-engraved Diana S/P, I went with the second place winner's cup at the Cumberland County Field Trials as a consolation prize. Isn't it all grand? KBM

JayCee:
Yes, that is the hammergun. Lockplates may have had a bit more scratching but it was--uh--restrained.
