Need help identifying an old Ithaca Hammerless SXS
The serial number is in the 120,000 range (which I cannot find in the book). It has some scroll work on both sides of the receiver with Ithaca and the model name, but it's worn and I cannot make out what it says. on the inside of the receiver and on the barrels, it's stamped 2nd. It also has a S over the number 12 stamped on the inside of the receiver/barrel. I think it has a Beaver Tail Forend, with a rounded pistol grip stock.
The blue book seems to skip from 94,000 to about 175,000 with the serial numbers...
Thanks!

The Lewis model serial runs up to 123600. Probably a grade 1 or 1 1/2. 0 -
It is a Lewis Model, made in 1906. The number "2" is the grade, and I believe the "S" indicated fluid steel barrels versus damascus. The "12" is obviuosly the gauge. If you can, please post pictures of the markings. 0 -

The barrels did say Smokeless Powder Steel Barrels...or something like that. I don't have it in my possession at the moment to take pics. I'll post some if I get a chance. Thanks!0
