In what gauges did Ithaca make hammer guns?
I have only seen 10ga & 12ga.

Early on just 10- and 12-gauges but eventually they were catalogued in 10-, 12- and 16-gauges. Heard tales of a 20-gauge or two but I've never seen one.

We’re these 16ga & 20ga hammer guns Damascus, double triggers, short chambers, etc?
Any pictures? Thanks.

My 20 gauge is a quality 1 1/2 so does have damascus barrels. I also have a 16 gauge quality 2 which is a 2 bolt gun. It also has damascus barrels.

Hammer guns had letter grades. A No. 1 1/2 and a No. 2 would be hammerless guns. AA Grade was the hammer gun equal to a No. 1 1/2 hammerless and the B Grade hammer gun was equal to a No. 2 hammerless.
