Those Ithaca-SKB 100s were nice simple knockabout guns. The earlier ones with straight grip were called Royal Light and later ones with 3" chambers pg, beavertail wood were little heaver and would make very good inexpensive target guns. Japanese may not have tradition of game shooting, but they sure are good thinkers. Last gun I examined was Sk/SK 26" B.C. Miroku O/U from ca 1960s. It had nicely engraved receiver, nice checkering on walnut stock, disk set strikers and wonderful vented recoil pad with piece of thin leather glued to pad so it would not hang on clothing while the gun was mounted. Another well though out feature was extra hole drilled in solder at muzzle end of barrels. This is smart as it avoids dead space between barrels and therefore makes oxidation less likely. One does not see this type of thinking put into guns from other makers.

Hey, There is no game in this photo and it's the only photo I have of this gun right now, but it is my favourite gun at the moment because I only purchased it this morning. 1967 Beretta S2

Hey all, my son Jim and I went out today for a few hours, the weather has been exceptionally nice (last year we had about 20" of snow). It was in the upper 40's, sunny and little wind. However.....the birds didn't want to cooperate. They were spooky today, wouldn't hold point (except one rooster and a bunch of hens), but there is always tomorrow. Anyway, I got the only boy bird today. I used my 12b Harkom Best, Greg

Greg, The unseasonably warmer weather is extending the upland season for all of us, so continue to enjoy. Looks like a great day for you. Karl

Hey all, went out solo today, only had a couple hours to hunt. Did manage to get a rooster and a Hun, not a great day, but much better than sitting at home. I used my 12b Purdey today Best, Greg
