Just purchased an OLD "New Ithaca" Damascus SxS 12 ga. with the outside hammers, circa 1900 or so. It actually has a very tight lock up, and crisp triggers. It is in very good shape for a hunny years old and has wonderful patina. The only thing is a small chip on the stock. I do want to shoot it and take it on a rabbit hunt so I have to get it checked out first. Does anyone know where I can get the proper shells for it? I have an unpretty face but, I have grown attached to it!

For the $50 I shelled out for it, I will have a nice mantle hanger at a minimum. Sorry, no pics. I left it in MO.

Have any of ya'll shot Damascus? Tips and comments welcome.

Can money pay for all the days we live awake but half asleep?

Is it the break barrel kind that ejects the shells? Just something neat about those! Don't know much about them other than some day I will hang one above my fire place mantle.
