even ithaca had a gun called a heavy field gun with 2 7/8 inch chambers. i bought one from russ jackson and used it on turkey with 3 inch shells with a load of 1 5/8
I've never seen such terminology used in an Ithaca Gun Co. catalogue or magazine ad. Ithaca Gun Co. introduced their Magnum-Ten in the second printing of their 1932 catalogue --





The Magnum-Ten was built on a beefed up, lengthened, version of their NID with the barrel lug extending into a recess on the bottom. The first Magnum-Ten going to Chas. Askins --



and made famous by Elmer Keith. Beginning in their 1937 catalogues Ithaca began offering a 12-gauge 3-inch Magnum built on the same big NID frame as the Magnum-Ten. The ones I've handled were plenty hefty!! They only produced 87 of them.
