The stock and forearm of the Lewis No. 1 Special are made from premium black walnut, a choice known for both its durability and its attractive appearance. The hand-checkering on the stock and forearm provides a secure grip, enhancing control and handling, especially in demanding conditions. This level of attention to detail in the woodwork highlights the shotgun's premium status. The Ithaca Hammerless model series, including the Lewis No. 1 Special, were equipped with a boxlock action and double triggers, ensuring smooth operation and reliable firing performance. The design of these shotguns evolved over time, with various frame types such as the Lewis, Crass, Flues, and Minier, all contributing to the versatility and legacy of Ithaca’s double-barrel offerings. While the later models in the 1920s were adapted with a stronger frame and rotary bolt, the Lewis No. 1 Special remains a collector’s piece, valued not only for its craftsmanship but also its place in the history of American firearms.
