Old-timey salesmanship!

I have two Ithaca double barrels that I inherited from my father and an uncle. My fathers is lightly engraved with a beautiful grained stock. The other one is a field grade. Both in 16 gauge. What a work of art and fitting. Old craftsmanship at it's best . Have did a lot of hunting with both. Like the ad. Thanks. Bill

Here Ithaca Gun Company is more famous for the .45ACP 1911/A1 pistol made between 1942 and 1945.
Recently I've noticed that it's getting difficult to find good ones in their original conditions. Herebelow one of them for sale at the equivalent price of about US 1830.00 (Augusta Arsenal reworked) What is it like in the States? Sergio |
The 1911 guys will be better informed, but it seems to me that any collectible Ithaca-made gun is in the value range you mention. Ironic reputation in Europe, because I don't believe IGC made handguns as regular fare, only for a few years during the second WW. Perhaps to capitalize on the mystique, the current owners are offering a 1911--or have recently. The Model 37 turned out to be their flagship after the days of the double barrel waned. Their fit suffered during their last years in Ithaca, which I attribute to the company's being ravaged and bled dry by corporate acquisition and shenanigans. It certainly was of no economic help when the enterprise subsequently shut down. Next time I'm downtown, I'll try to remember to snap a pic to post of the factory's chimney, which is all that remains here.

My go-to hunting gun is an Ithaca Flues Model, serial numbered to 1921. It's a workhorse double 12. I love it. It stays with me when TSHTF so as to bring home some bird meat. :D
