20 ga with s/n dating it to 1935 marked "New Ithaca Field Grade" on right barrel, "Ithaca Gun Co, Ithaca, NY", twin ivories, What appears to be a Miller non-selective trigger in the rear position, ejectors, BT forend with Deely latch. Here's what throws me------ no stamps on the outside of the frame but light engraving around the perimeter of the frame, forend iron, and bottom plate. Serial number on the forend has an "S" prefix not appearing elsewhere on the gun. All numbers match, including forend wood and all are stamped "F".
My questions---1)is this a standard Field, as all other NID Fields I've seen have the bird dog on the frame instead of the border engraving, and ,2) could this gun, if a standard Field, been ordered with ivories, ejectors, BT, and a Miller trigger?
Sorry for the uninformed questions--- I'm an Elsie collector and have no reference material on Ithacas, although I've always admired them. BTW, S/N is 4619**.
Help---Walt or others !
