According to Ithaca marketing material, Ithaca obtained working plans for a Hawken muzzleloader in 1976 and put it into production in 1977. It appeared in the 1978 catalog then was dropped from the line and apparently sold to Navy Arms and manufactured in Italy. It later became the basis for a Pedersoli Hawken. The Ithaca has been called one of the best Hawken replicas, having been copied from a rifle owned by Kit Carson. It was made in very limited numbers at the factory in Ithaca, New York by the Ithaca Black Powder Division and sold in 1978 for $429 (a kit gun was available for $258). The rifle was .50 cal., had a 32" octagonal barrel, double triggers, browned steel furniture and barrel and German silver forestock cap and key escutcheons. Barrels were 1" in diameter and rifled with a 1:66" twist for patched ball. Production figures are unavailable but their relatively high price in 1978 would probably have inhibited mass sales. A used example was recently listed on the internet at $799.

I bought an Ithaca hawkin kit in the 70s. I finally got around to finishing it. There is no serial number on it anywhere
Depending on exact model and condition, $150-$225. While these are very good traditional muzzle loading rifles, the market interest is on in-line muzzle loaders. I just purchased a used Excellent condition TC Hawken for $200, and am very pleased with the rifle.

$1,800 I can't imagine $1,800 for a T/C muzzle loader! This is obviously not the inexpensive Renegade Model which as used brings around $125 and like new might go for $250. Is this 54 caliber percussion Hawken Model a custom shop or commemorative model? <><><> Agree- depending on condition, these sell for around $200.
