What a great little Ithaca 16ga.! According to Walt Snyder’s book, “The Ithaca Gun Company- From the Beginning”, there were only 45,000 Ithaca “New Ithaca Double” (NID) model guns produced from 1926 through 1949. The Ithaca NID model is the strongest action of any of the early American double gun makers with exception of the Winchester Model 21, as it has very little steel removed for the action design. If you shoot high volume or heavy magnum type loads, this gun is made for just such use. This gun, sn462071 built in 1936, is a FIELD GRADE SKEET CONFIGURED GUN, AND IS ONE OF A TINY HANDFUL OF GUNS SO PRODUCED. “Skeet configured” refers to the 26" barrels with double ivory beads, factory marked S/S chokes (.006/.014 constrictions…great bird chokes too!), single trigger, beavertail forend, ejectors, factory butt plate, and deluxe wood. It remains in excellent condition with 98% factory blue on the barrels, 40% factory case colors (fading), mirror bores, and excellent mechanics. The wood has fabulous figure and strong checkering, and no cracks or repairs. Balanced perfectly on the hinge pin this is a delightful gun in hand for upland carry or clay targets. Ithaca double guns with rare features, small gauges, and original factory condition are the very best investment guns in this market as they are seriously undervalued compared to other vintage American makers. A Parker VHE (Field Grade in the Parker line up) 16ga. Skeet gun would sell for close to $10K in this condition, if you could find one. A great gun to shoot and enjoy while it increases in value. Thanks for looking!
