Default An Ithaca Classic Doubles

This is an Ithaca Classic Doubles 7 ES that I bought thinking I could have the stock changed from left handed to right handed by bending it. But, it was way to south paw to do that, so I had it restocked. The 20 gauge barrels are 30" and the 16 gauge barrels are 26". Unfortunately, the grade of wood was not quite as good as the original, but I like it. If the weather improves, I'll shoot it.

Nice gun!!

I never notice before the difference in the rib extension between a real NID --

448878 14.jpeg

square at the back.

and the ICD NID --

ICD No. 7E 16- & 20-gauge.jpg

rounded at the back.

Wonder who engraved that one? I had Jack Jones engrave a gun for me and he was one of the engravers there. BTW, for those that don't know Jack passed last year. Interesting. He worked closely Ken Hurst and even Gournet back in the day.

And the two generations of ICD guns each have different extensions

I like the oak leaf engraving. It looks like that on my CSMC XE. I wonder if the same engraver did both?

I had Steve L. Make me a 16ga/20ga 4E Special. It’s still my favorite gun. The 471k SN range ICD guns are wonderful for the money and get more and more collectible by the day.

I didn't realize Josh that only 471 were built. They are pretty rare compared to Parker Reproductions.

My error - I should have clarified “guns in the 471,xxx SN range”. The guns in this series number around 200-225.

There were a total of about 500 ICDs made. They are about evenly split between First Gen (470***) and Second Gen (471**) guns.
