SKB's are good starter guns, and largely underrated. Just purchased older skb w/ no identifying marks on top of barrel either side of very wide broadway vent rib. Only proof marks are - left side of barrel by chamber: 'M7IV' over '891' - right side: 'SPR' over 'SPR' - bottom of barrel: 'K' then the serial number '708XXX' then '6' then 'NP'.

If you are in Southern California, you are welcome to pick your item up and complete the transfer at our shop in Simi Valley (M-F, 8-5). This gun can only be shipped to an FFL, and it will be shipped from an FFL. It is your responsibility to ensure that the gun is legal to own and receive in your area.

Only proof marks are - left side of barrel by chamber: 'M7IV' over '891' - right side: 'SPR' over 'SPR' - bottom of barrel: 'K' then the serial number '708XXX' then '6' then 'NP'. The only markings on this o/u shotgun that identifies this firearm other than the actual way it was manufactured is the buttplate w/ ' SKB ' lettering on it. Nothing about Ithaca. The shotgun's entire receiver,trigger guard, and top end of barrels near the chambers is intricately & highly engraved by hand ( deep relief ). Can anyone help to identify what model?

By 1985 the Supreme Grade was $1,124. A Standard Vent Rib model with tubes was a new feature that year. The Mag-10 patent rights were sold to the Remington Arms Company, Inc. In 1987 during the bankruptcy proceedings, thus terminating Ithaca Gun’s production of this popular sporting firearm. * “The Ithaca Gun Company From the Beginning” by Walter Claude Snyder • *The company released its newest creation: the Model 37 Repeater in 1937.

The difference between the two models was essentially cosmetic. All Ithaca-SKB guns were discontinued by 1978. * “The Ithaca Gun Company From the Beginning” by Walter Claude Snyder • *IMPORTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY ITHACA GUN COMPANY The Ithaca-SKB Grades XL300 and XL900 were introduced in 1972.

Its a SKB (Ithica I think) XL 900 12 gauge. I traced the serial number on it back to the early 80's. It was produced within the 3 years that Chicago. Apr 05, 2007  If you look at the schematics on the SKB website, you'll find that parts for the Ithaca/SKB 500, 600, and 700, and the SKB 500, 505, 585, 600, 605, 685, 785, and 885 are the same. The 85TSS has a couple of modified parts, but very few.

The Model 72 Saddlegun® had a tubular magazine with a 15-round capacity and sold for $79.95 when introduced. A Model 72 Deluxe was introduced in 1974 and the Model 72 Magnum in 1975. By 1976 the Saddlegun was priced at $144.95, the Deluxe at $199.95 and the Magnum, whose tubular magazine held 11 rounds, at $159.95 The 1978 catalogue only lists the Saddlegun and the Magnum. The Model 72 does not appear in the 1980 catalogue, having been discontinued the year before. * “The Ithaca Gun Company From the Beginning” by Walter Claude Snyder • *In 1911, the Ithaca Gun Company introduced their first single-barrel shotgun especially designed for trapshooting.

All guns of the earlier Flues model have serial numbers under 400,000. The 1922 version was designed by Frank Knickerbocker and is called the Knick model. * “The Ithaca Gun Company From the Beginning” by Walter Claude Snyder • *One of the most amazing products in the history of commercial shotgun manufacturing appeared in 1922. On February 28th of that year, Ithaca Gun Company shipped the first of a new model Single-Barrel Trap Gun, serial number 400,005, in No.

In 1987 during the bankruptcy proceedings, thus terminating Ithaca Gun’s production of this popular sporting firearm. * “The Ithaca Gun Company From the Beginning” by Walter Claude Snyder • *The company released its newest creation: the Model 37 Repeater in 1937. The Model 37 was a pump action shotgun based on the Remington Model 17 pump shotgun. The Ithaca was an improvement on the former design because it emphasized simplicity of form and function. The Model 37 has remained in continuous production since its introduction. It has been produced in a bewildering number of finishes, calibers, barrel lengths, smooth bore and rifled barrel configurations, and stock and forearm configurations. * “The Ithaca Gun Company From the Beginning” by Walter Claude Snyder • *This lever-action, single-shot rifle was introduced in 1961 in.22-Caliber short, long, and long rifle.

We only have records of firearms that we actually imported. SKB Shotguns USA imported shotguns from the Japanese factory during the period 1988 to 2009. These shotguns will have our importer’s mark (G.U. Omaha, Ne.) on the left side of the barrel under the forend. In most cases, the shotguns will have a serial number prefixes of either NS, NSG, NA, and AS. We can also help with any current production guns, manufactured in Turkey that we imported. We do not have any records from other importers of SKB manufactured shotguns: • Ithaca Gun Company which imported from 1969 to 1978 • Mitsui (Chicago, IL) which imported from 1981 to 1984 • Weatherby which imported from 1984 to 2004 The SKB factory in Japan closed operations in late 2009.

If you would like to be notified when we receive your payment, please obtain a tracking number from your carrier. We receive about 40 checks a day and do not have the staff required to email everyone when we receive checks. CA Sales tax applies to CA buyers (7.25%).

Maybe a forum header about model variations or links to the information would be helpful. I am a new guy on this board and I saw your posting for Ithaca Serial Numbers and went to the site because I have an OLD 'New Ithaca Gun'. That is what it says on the side of the receiver. I finally figured out how to find the actual serial numbers and then went to check and see what I actually had. I thought it was a 12 gauge but it seems it is a 10 gauge instead.

The rubber is soft and pliable. The stocks rate in about Very Good plus overall condition. Type of Finish: Blue Finish Originality: All Original Bore Condition: The bores are near mirror. There is no erosion. Overall Condition: This shotgun retains about 95% of its metal finish. The balance of the finish shows little (if any) wear or handling.

All documents pertaining to shotgun production and exportation were turned into the Japanese government. You can contact us, with your serial number, and we will look up the date we imported the gun.

5-E grade, to Von Lengerke 8; Antoine, Chicago, Illinois. This model, known as the “Knick” (or “Nick,” as it was called at the time), remained in production, virtually unchanged, for over 60 years. * “The Ithaca Gun Company From the Beginning” by Walter Claude Snyder • *IMPORTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY ITHACA GUN COMPANY Double-Barrel Shotguns, Side-By-Side Two new Ithaca-SKB grades were introduced in 1966; the Grade 100 priced at $151.95 arid the Grade ZOOE (ejector) at $197.95.

Barrel Length: 30” Choke: Full and Improved Mod Sights / Optics: The gun is mounted with a white bead at the muzzle and a mid length small silver bead. Stock Configuration & Condition: The stocks are nicely figured wood with sharp checkering. There is a ding / chip on the left side of the buttstock above the trigger. There are just a few compression marks, the most obvious is on the left side of the forend, about 4” back, and on the right side about 2” forward of the receiver. The LOP measures approx. 14 ½” from the front of the single trigger to the back of the rubber Ithaca butt pad.

I don't want to burst anybody's bubble, but, for the most part, the parts on the new SKB's are interchangeable with the old Ithaca SKB's. Like all O/U's, parts need to be more or less hand fitted to the individual gun. I recently broke a top ejector on my Ithaca/SKB 700. After a call to Gun's Unlimited, I had a new ejector in days, and another couple of days for a gunsmith to fit it. If you look at the schematics on the SKB website, you'll find that parts for the Ithaca/SKB 500, 600, and 700, and the SKB 500, 505, 585, 600, 605, 685, 785, and 885 are the same.

Shot it yesterday (in a typical U.P. Spring gale) and hit 22/25 (not bad for a strange gun). I learned to shoot trap w/a century single from SKB. Wish I still had it, just for fun. SKB's are good starter guns, and largely underrated. Just purchased older skb w/ no identifying marks on top of barrel either side of very wide broadway vent rib. Only proof marks are - left side of barrel by chamber: 'M7IV' over '891' - right side: 'SPR' over 'SPR' - bottom of barrel: 'K' then the serial number '708XXX' then '6' then 'NP'.

By 1985 the Supreme Grade was $1,124. A Standard Vent Rib model with tubes was a new feature that year. The Mag-10 patent rights were sold to the Remington Arms Company, Inc. In 1987 during the bankruptcy proceedings, thus terminating Ithaca Gun’s production of this popular sporting firearm.

Both grades have selective single triggers and were 12 gauge. By 1968 both guns were available in 20 gauge. * “The Ithaca Gun Company From the Beginning” by Walter Claude Snyder • *IMPORTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY ITHACA GUN COMPANY The Ithaca-SKB Grades 300 and 900 (Recoil Action) were introduced in 1968 and discontinued in 1973. The Grade 300 was priced at $159.91 the Grade 900 was $169.95 Both models were available in 12 and 20 gauge.

Gents, my apologies for chiming in very late on this conversation, but I have a genuine Japanese SKB 100 in - I would gauge - 90% condition. I imported this from Japan myself while I was there along with several obscure S/S's including a JP Sauer/Portuna, a Gorosabel, and a Bernadelli. I also acquired several O/U's (SKB 600's, and an 880 Crown Grade). Oh and I've got a (maybe nickled) A5 produced by FN, 'Light Twelve' beautifully engraved. I'm new to these style of guns so any advice would be appreciated. I'm looking to unload a couple based on what I learn perhaps.

Ithaca Gun REFERENCE CENTER click photo to get schematic & parts list • *On the eve of World War I, the management of the Ithaca Gun Company decided to develop and market a lower-priced line of shotguns. However, they did not want to degrade the price-quality image enjoyed by the long-established Ithaca Double. The strategy they chose for accomplishing both objectives was to purchase a well-known and respected gun company, discontinue its products, and introduce their lower-priced line under that firm’s name. This strategy was implemented in the early months of 1916 with the purchase of the Lefever Arms Company in Syracuse, New York. * “The Ithaca Gun Company From the Beginning” by Walter Claude Snyder • *The Ithaca Mag-10 was designed by James Tollinger & introduced in 1974 at a cost of $424.95. The gun was only available with a full-choke 52-inch barrel.

A Magnum WMRF, a Presentation model, and a Deluxe Saddlegun were introduced in 1962. The Presentation model was discontinued in 1973, the Deluxe model in 1975, and all other models by 1979. * “The Ithaca Gun Company From the Beginning” by Walter Claude Snyder • *Model 51 Introduced in 1970, the Model 51 was a gas-operated semi-automatic shotgun designed by the late James Tollinger. By 1971, the Model 51 was available in several 12-gauge configurations, including standard and deluxe grades, and trap and skeet grades with vent-ribbed barrels. Retail prices varied from $179.95 to $2/15.95.

It is very pleasing to look. The Screw heads are sharp and undamaged. The markings are clear.

I finally figured out how to find the actual serial numbers and then went to check and see what I actually had. I thought it was a 12 gauge but it seems it is a 10 gauge instead. Anyway, I did not find it under the New Ithaca Gun but under Crass & NIG Models the serial number is 41268 below that is A and then below that is 10.
