Ithaca Model 37 Featherlight Shotgun. The Ithaca Gun Co. Shimano e tube for mac. Of Ithaca, N. Trane cvhe chiller manual. Y., started manufacturing guns in a small wood building on the banks of Fall Creek in 1880. Their first model was a 12-ga. Hammer gun, and from this they evolved a series of single- and double-barrel shotguns. This Ithaca is a Flues, built in 1922, one of 223,000 between 1908 and 1926, the all-time best-selling American double gun. The Flues Ithaca changed history. It drove Remington out of the double gun market, and spawned unprofitable competitors in the L C Smith Fulton, Fox Sterlingworth and the Parker Trojan, which ultimately led to their.

Hello Folks. I came home with a 12ga damascus barreled Ithaca today. Perhaps not a wise move, since I don't know anything about it, but I couldn't leave it sitting where it was. If I don't keep it, or if it's not one that can be shot, I can bless someone else with it. The bores look good to my eye, but there is a dent on the right barrel, 5 1/2' back from the muzzle that you can see some in the bore as well. I think it could be pressed out.
26' 12ga hammerless, damascus, engravings, beautiful dark walnut, original buttplate and cap, slightly loose top latch but pretty tight of face, unknown chokes because someone borrowed my gauge, serial number 20281, and the water table has a 2 over 12.
Drop at heel: 3'
Drop at toe: 8 1/2'
LOP: 14'
Can you folks shed light on what this is? I'd think it's a Crass, but I've never had an Ithaca before and know very little. More pictures are available from the thumbnails below. Thanks!
