In that period of time a "Trap Shooter" would have cut-down/built-up the comb four or five times and fitted a D-W pad, then a Morgan Adjustable pad!! Great gun Walter.

I still retains its 1914/15 Perkins pad. I think I still have the order book from this era--we will see what if anything that reveals. More later.

It was shipped later than I thought -shipped to Bob Smith on 4/6/16 and made for a This. W. Ross, 1396 Commonwealth Ave, Allston, Mass. Two things-The Curtis lock up(the 2nd lock up--this gun has the first style lock up) must have come in later in 1916-and Ithaca must have had in stock because it was ordered 3/29/16 and shipped just a few days later. It was probably 'put up' as the old gun makers referred to a gun just completed. A note pencilled in saying it must be in Boston by 4/20. I wish I still subscribed to Ancestry so I could get more info on our Mr. Ross. Last edited by Walter C. Snyder; 01/29/18 11:44 PM.
