The name lives on, and they offer classic Model 37--and a 1911, which hadn't been made by Ithaca since WWII.

That interested me, as I don't think anyone offers a copy of the 1911...And Ithaca doesn't either. It's a M1911A1 copy, and the pics show one heavily accessorized...

There was mention of a member on another forum who had made a copy of the 1905 (?) (that was submitted to the original trials) from a M1911A1 but I couldn't find it. That would be a cool retro-clone.

The only 1911 copies (not 1911A1), I've seen were made by Colt about 20 years ago.

I have an ITHACA MAG 10...

It will let you know when it fires..............!!!

I have a 1913 Colt M1911. Don't need a replica

Blast from the past...

A local historian keeps posting pics on Facebook. And here's a link to the company's historical info, including its timeline up to its demise around here: https://tincanbandit.blogspot.com/20...thaca-gun.html
