I had the occasion the other day to get to the back of my safe and retrieved a Gun I have not looked at for a while. It is a 1914 Grade 7E Flues model single barrel trap gun in 99+% original condition. It did as well as I did at 50 trap targets. I know I am biased toward its beauty BUT thought a few here might like to see what came out of the Ithaca factory in that era.





I really like the double border on the checkering. I never could determine which of the Hallams did this style. Maybe Jim?? Squad mate Ed Harvey was especially taken with the heart design at the comb--but Ed has a fondness of all things from the heart! Also note the two lines per inch seen on the fore end.
The gun is the one with the "Perkins Shock Absorber" pad that Dr. Drew so kindly researched. BTW it has a 34 inch full choke barrel and is chambered for 2 3/4 inch ammo.
