Keith's comments are well founded. And while I am a member of the LACA, I agree with his skepticism about the suppossed number of Ithaca assembled guns. 1/3 is ridiculous...defies both evidence and logic.
All the same, Ithaca did indeed produce some which had Syracuse plates, as well as an even tinier number of Ithaca stamped plates. There are some generally accepted hallmarks of Ithaca assembly, and of the thousands of guns we have noted, about 2% bear these marks. There are threads out there on this topic where were broke it down and exained why they indicated Ithaca assembly. And im talking about Syracuse plates.
As Richard explained above, the Ithaca plated guns (which also had "Inc" on them) are much, MUCH rarer.
But as Keith suggested, we BELIEVE this...we cant prove it with paper.
