Default Ithaca .410 NID

I recently purchased this 1927 Ithaca NID .410 grade 1...I’m pretty excited to take it on my annual Idaho trip in a couple weeks.

That looks really nice. Single trigger with a beavertail. What is barrel length?

That should be fun. However, up in Idaho is Elmer country. So, perhaps you need this No. 1E from Steve Barnett as back-up --

Shawn, is that a grade 1? Looks like a grade 1 1/2 to me. I used to own a very beat up 1 1/2 20 Ithaca. Just sold my grade 3 Lewis 12 ga w/ chain link damascus this week.

It's def. a Grade 1. 1 1/2's, as I recall, were only in the Flues models and well before the 410 was introduced. Researcher--that Grade 1 10 bore Magnum is a nice gun! I was its caretaker for awhile in my NID days!!

In the late teens, through The Great War, Ithaca Gun Co. phased out the use of composite iron and steel barrels, making a number of their entry-level grades that differed only by barrel material redundant. They dropped the No. 1 Special and combined the No. 1 and the No. 1 1/2 as the New No. 1 in late 1919.

No. 1 Dec. 1919 Catalogue.jpg

By the way, a 1927 vintage NID .410-bore would have started life chambered for the 2 1/2 inch .410-bore shell. The 3-inch .410-bore shell was introduced along with the Winchester Model 42 in 1933.

I read about the chambers in Walt’s book...I guess this gun made a trip back to the factory to have its chambers worked on. That’s pretty neat I think. Thanks for the info!

Dave I certainly need a 10 bore when hunting those cantankerous phookars know to inhabit Idaho rim rock country.
