Frank,
Forgive me if I asked this before, but does that Ithaca serial # begin with 454,xxx?? Or which year may that have been built? Thanks, Stan P.S. Mike, I know it's not something that happens frequently, but you look pretty good holding that Ithaca ![]() |

Stan, the s/n is 4574xx. Slow sales during the Great Depression and with Ithaca doing serials in "blocks" for the special Vent Rib high top frames, I'm thinking she left the factory much later than might be indicated just by the serial number. She doesn't have cocking indicator pins and the Trap beavertail f/e is the newer "long style". Possibly shipment in the mid to late 1930's. My Cody membership has expired and if I renew it I'll get an Ithaca records readout.

Ah,
I was typing without looking, sorry about that. The grade 3 you acquired a few years prior was an earlier NID if I remember correctly, indicators and short BT, also with double triggers? |

Good memory Stan. I had a Number/Grade 3E Double Trap NID s/n 4337xx with the earlier shorter beavertail f/e, 32", Vent Rib and double triggers. It had a conventional high trap comb and 14" LOP over its Ithaca pad. Also cocking indicators. Stock comb a little too high and LOP a little short for me to shoot sporting and I didn't want to modify an all original gun ..... traded off. Just to elaborate on how Ithaca did blocks of serials for higher grade and special guns, along with the effect of the Great Depression on its sales, the Cody readout shows: Proofed for factory stock in February 1928 and shipped to customer in November 1936. Tough times and tight money.
