Yes, all trap guns I referred to are Pre WWI. We once got about 8 or 9 Baker Single Trap guns together and took an overall picture. No two had the stocks of the same design. Of course, trap shooters in general need it "their" way.

Ithaca Lefever Model 3. M-3s are not common and ones with a beaver tail fore end even less so. Consider this the left book end of the Ithaca trap offerings. ![](http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f353/wsnyder/100_0219_zpsvlroa7qx.jpg) And consider the bottom gun as the right book end ![](http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f353/wsnyder/PICT0003_zpsr69x7918.jpg)

An example from across the pond by Draper of Bolton,Lancashire. circa 1880-85, 33" barrel,Likely saw action for pigeons at the area shooting clubs, and possibly starlings and sparrows in the back yards behind country pubs. Raises a few eyebrows at the trap range. ![](http://www.hunt101.com/data/500/Draper_of_Bolton-12singlePigeon-full.jpg) ![](http://www.hunt101.com/data/500/Draper_of_Bolton-12singlePigeon-action_close.jpg) ![](http://www.hunt101.com/data/500/Draper_of_Bolton-12singlePigeon-topaction.jpg)
Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought stupid,than open it and confirm.

Wow. That is a beauty, Terry. I assume that is a restoration, and a fine one at that.
How is it proofed, and choked?

Hi Stan, The gun is as I got it out of England and does look like it has had a sympathetic restoration.It has been nitro re-proofed with 2 3/4" chambers and the barrel is choked imp mod.Thanks for the kind words.
