Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Ithaca Hammerless SxS Grade 2 is a distinguished example of early 20th-century American double-barrel shotgun design, blending practical field performance with the refined craftsmanship that made Ithaca Gun Company a respected name in sporting arms. Introduced during a period when hammerless side-by-side shotguns were rapidly supplanting exposed-hammer designs, the Grade 2 model sat in the middle of Ithaca’s grading system, offering superior fit, finish, and functional refinement without the premium cost of the highest grades. The hammerless mechanism itself was a leap forward in user convenience and safety: internal strikers replaced external hammers, enabling faster follow-up shots, easier cocking, and reduced snagging on clothing or brush in the field. Typically chambered in popular gauges such as 12, 16, or 20, the Grade 2 featured barrels of moderate length that balanced swing dynamics with pattern performance for upland game and waterfowl alike. Its action was built on a robust side-by-side frame with selective extractors or ejectors—depending on year and configuration—ensuring reliable removal of spent shells after firing. Stocks were fashioned from choice walnut with tasteful checkering and checkered pistol grips, giving shooters secure control and an aesthetically pleasing grain pattern that complemented the shotgun’s polished blued barrels and engraved receivers. The Grade 2’s receiver engraving, while less elaborate than the company’s highest grades, typically included tasteful scrollwork or game scenes executed with crisp detail, reflecting the era’s preference for ornamentation that enhanced rather than overwhelmed the overall design. With a reputation for smooth handling, dependable operation, and classic American shotgun character, the Ithaca Hammerless SxS Grade 2 has since become a prized collector’s piece, emblematic of a golden age in U.S. shotgun manufacture when functional excellence and artisanal finishing were both held in high esteem.
