I just inherited an old 12 ga. double barrel shotgun and only know a few things about it. 1) it has damascus barrels 2) It was made in Chicago 3) it used black powder. 4)A friend of mine said he thought it was an Ithica. If anyone know what it is, I would really like to know. I am going to try to post 2 pictures. Thanks!
