Hi Francis,
I found this thread from two years ago on Shotgun World. Walt Snyder does not have a link in his Doublegun Shop signature, either. I figured he would if an Ithaca group existed. He 'wrote the book'.

Here is a direct link I think will help for the '37 pump and other Ithaca SxS models. The owner was a gunsmith who worked at Ithaca for 28 years.

There are 2 Ithaca sites on Shotgun World. Th e first is the "new" Ithaca factory site. Farther down the lineup is a site for Ithaca lovers. Walt is the moderator of that site. Lee.

I like the Ithaca M37, they sure were popular, one of Michigan's now late legendary grouse men, Doc Hall of Traverse City area- had a 20 with a Poly-choke and he was a deadly wingshot with that. My late friend from the Haymarsh Club, owner of a peat and topsoil operation just north of Lakeview- Bud Gummer, a real GSP man, shot a Rem M17 20, also with a Poly-choke, and was also a superb wingshot.

Some men, it might seem, can shoot any shotgun that fits them fairly well, and if the Ithaca featherlight is their chosen "escopeta", well they are in good company indeed. If imitation is truly the sincerest form of flattery, then the short-lived Winchester M12 featherlight may have been offered to the American gunning public as another choice against the well-established Ithaca--:bigbye::bigbye:

Lee.-- I tried three times to register/login in- Fubar--I think my Dell computer table top thingy is "hoo-doed"- I can't log onto the LeFever, AH Fox or LC Smith sites--and what does "Spam in a can" have to do with computers and an IPC gizmo?? What is going on-- PGCA website- piece of cake, ditto YeeOldeDoubleGunWorkshoppe dot com--but the others- might as well be in Izbeckastan--:corn::p:cuss::eek::cuss::whistle::whistle::whistl e::whistle:
