I handled the Field Grade Craig is referring to I believe, very late NID, NO Ithaca marking or engraving, barrels were 32” with what I believe was an Ithaca factory vent rib. I thought it not factory but after looking it over with Brian Hunt we came to the conclusion that it was original. The serial # I believe was in the 469,000 range, one of the last NID’s out the door. The vent rib was not level from top of receiver like typical where the vent rib frame is higher on Ithaca NID’s generally. The vent rib was ramped from top of receiver if you know what I mean? I thought you may have handled that one. Sorry for the confusion Dave, Me and Randy were referring to a 32” 20 gauge Grade 3 NID that was posted a few years back, it was a phantom I guess, it was sold before we called, only a few hrs after posted  Craig is referring to a the 32” 20 gauge Field grade encountered at the Southern I believe in 2022, one of the last NID’s with no marking. |

I bought a 24" 28 gauge Grade 2 for Kathy but it had too much drop for her so down the road it went. I never could find out who it was ordered by or for whom. Al I know is that it was ordered for Mrs. E.W.B. whomever she might have been.

How did we get from a No. 3 to a Field Grade?

Thanks Dan,
Sorry I didn’t recall who put me on that one, I just remembered whose it was and that it was a head scratcher, the first one I had seen. Bill, This one currently resides not too far from Md, in VA if it hasn’t moved since I last talked with then owner. It was not for sale when I was asked to offer my opinion. I did however have a chance to purchase an unmarked NID 12 gauge with three sets of barrels that were loosely fitted. Is is currently a project gun. Former owner’s grandfather worked at the factory and was able to acquire said gun |
