Hi there! I know this is an older thread, but I believe I have one of the “black hole” shotguns you speak of. It’s serial number 144**.. it’s a grade 4 12 gauge with beautifully intricate engravings all over with a gold inlaid pointer dog on the trigger guard and a gold badge inlaid on the stock. I will attach pictures as soon as I figure how lol.Ithaca Crass 1891 Grade 4
