Marks_21	Any thoughts on the story here? I think the sides and the bottom are a GREAT copy of the Bill McGraw STYLE of Grade 4 Ithaca doubles. (And I love the dog "variation ") I question the how and why... but I just don't think this was a factory original 4 The good :

ithaca1	Looks like t may have been weld repaired in the center of the water table, both sides. Mine cracked in that exact location and was weld repaired. Looks like an upgraded "special" to me. Engraving looks nice!

KY Jon	Employee gun makes a lot of sense. Had friend working at Remington who told of going into the wood room and picking the best blank he could find for his employee gun. I saw the gun and it was very nice. First standard 1100 I saw with a factory hand checkered gun that the custom shop had done for him.

Researcher	That McGraw flying duck is infinitely better than the Brothers P flying turnips. Most McGraw style (post 1915) Flues No. 4 guns don't have that dog scene on the trigger plate -- Those checkered triggers are not normally seen on the No. 4 either. I'd speculate that the gun started life as a Field Grade that some factory employee got his buddies to upgrade to a pseudo No. 4.
