Rabbit,
Thank you for taking an interest in the ex-holder of the most profitable SxS patent, in the history of double shotguns. with this patent, Ithaca not only rose to prominence, but they were able bring several competitors to their fiscal knees, and even to cease production of their SxS lines.

I must say, right up front that there are large gaping holes in my research work about Emil. I still don't know who he apprenticed under...I always suspected Allender, but only through proximity and transfer of skill. There is also some sensitive (unpublished) information that I cannot post because of the research sharks who would claim publication credit for themselves. Yes you are correct in that I live only about 500 yards from Emil's workshop. It still stands, but barely.Is there some aspect in particular that your interested in? I hope I have the answers for you.
