They are great shotguns. I bought a used one way back in 1976 from the old Butternut Sports in Syracuse, New York. Mine has a plain stock, with a 28" Modified choke barrel.
I took it to Maine and Florida during my Navy days. I don't know how many ducks, geese, woodcock, etc. I have taken with it. The bluing was just about worn off and in 2011, I sent it back to the new Ithaca Gun Company to have them re-blue it. I told them to leave the RayBar sight on it and leave the wood alone. They did a great job on it.
I always liked the stocks with the checkered wrist like yours.
As to that scratch, I would think that a tiny bit of Tru-Oil or similar product rubbed into the scratch would cover it up nicely.
