Very interesting there Bill, it would seem that customer knew what he wanted and had a purpose in mind,
Will we see an article on these guns, they must have quite a story to tell?

Generally speaking, I see the cocking indicators disappearing during the 459xxx range. I've recorded guns in the 4591xx and 4592xx with the indicators and the earlier style stocks, while guns in the 4595xx and higher without indicators and the 1935 style stocks. Earlier some customers must have specified no cocking indicators as I have recorded 12-gauge guns in the 448xxx and 450xxx range without indicators and a No. 5E 20-gauge in the 457xxx range.

I handled those fully optioned No. 4E 28-inch 28-gauges with serial numbers one digit apart at Jacqua's about 35 years ago. They also had a No. 5E .410-bore that day.

Well Stan, I don’t think there’s enough known to warrant a story, but I was always intrigued by the fact that they were originally shipped to a Western Auto store—sort of a prewar Pep Boys!

Had an opportunity to pattern my NID-28 at Skeet distances (aka Quail distances),
3/4 oz #9 shot.

Right barrel, .007, 75% pellets in 30" circle



Left barrel, .013, 90% pellets inside 30" circle



20 / 22 / 23 / 22

Those are all 28 gauge NID’s! Grade 5 on down. (No 3’s). They were the subject of an article written in 2000.

This is the rarest of the Ithaca 28 gauge NID’s! Records indicate only 2 were made but I believe only this one has ever surfaced. I have a recollection that the other one was stolen, but I’m not positive as I write this.
