Just acquired. A 16 ga. field BUT appears unfired. Anyway, here is what 1937 colors look like. For those who care about originality.

Serial# 450xxx, made in 1927. NID Field grade, 12 gauge, 28" barrels choked full and modified. It's in remarkably good condition.

Most of the field grade guns have been used a lot and show some wear. This is the nicest one I've seen!

Thanks 1977cutcher! The crazy part is I bought it on Gunbroker and the seller's photos were so poor I thought the wood (and maybe the metal) had been refinished. His description didn't make any fancy claims, he just it was "in good condition." I didn't bid very high, but fortunately I was the high bidder.

I was shocked when I unwrapped the gun and saw it was all original and in mint condition! Most of my Gunbroker purchases have not been this lucky. :lol:

Bought an nice "New Ithaca Field Grade" double, 12 gauge, with original Ithaca recoil pad, ejectors and single selective trigger. Last two were options at the time it was new in 1927. It will take the place of my Dad's old Tobin 12. Nice old shotgun. It's not perfect, but for its age, it looks pretty good. Crack on each side of tang are repaired. Butt pad is still soft. Ejectors work with authority.

Sn: 4500xx

The old thing has been used, no doubt, but cared for. This gun will be my "chicken gun."

A CGN member pointed out that the butt pad on my shotgun wasn't actually available until 1932. The door is open wide to comments. :?: :?:
