I just acquired a very clean & early Ithaca hammergun. From reviewing the history of that company, I'm seeing a number of names associaed with the LC Smith Company, Leroy Smith (brother to Lyman C. Smith, George Baker (from Baker Guns?), and George Livermore (married to LC Smiths only daughter?). This 1901 double-thick Nitro Breech gun (w/32-inch Twist tubes) seems to also have the Alexander T Brown rotary-bolt that all the LC Smith guns made famous. Are there other connections between these two early New Youk State gun manufacturers?
