I tried to buy that gun from Rich Wingle back around 2004. I am not sure about the year but 2004 is close. He had it at the Vintagers and the Louisville show. I latter bought a DH that had a short forend just like this C grade. I am convinced they were both original. The D grade was in much better condition but the stock was a little short for me.

Some Ithacas from that era had the same style short forend.
I bet with some research you will find one of the big dog shooters of that time was shooting one.
