Photo is of my recent low cost acquisition: a hammerless 20 gauge SxS marked "Witte Hdwe Co. IXL - St. Louis, MO."
I know that Witte Hardware was a large hardware and gun distributor, based n my hometown. And that they had shotguns made for them, with their own brand name. Although not clear in the photo, there is a pointer dog stamped on each side of the action. 7xx serial number.
I Think this SxS was made by ITHACA, although it lacks any such markings:
1. Who do you think was the maker?
2. If it is an Ithaca, what basic Ithaca model does it match?,
3. Any guess on likely manufacture year (range)?
THANKS
JERRY
