The New Ithaca Double was made from 1926 to 1948, and was the last double gun manufactured by the factory. External cocking indicators were standard until 1934, when they were eliminated from the design. Selective and non-selective single triggers and ejectors were optional at additional cost. Lke most collectible shotguns, the smaller guages command a price premium (with the exception of the Magnum 10 of which only 850 were made). It was produced in 8 different grades. This gun deserves the attention of an expert appraiser, as some grades in excellent condition could put your kid through college.
Ithaca or Remington
You would need to include the model number or name of your Ithaca firearm,along with the serial number to get the correct answer.
If it doesn't say Lefever somewhere on the gun, I don't think you have a Lefever.
I have no idea what you mean. Every Remington shotgun ever made was designated as a shotgun, and had a model name or number. If you clarify your question, maybe someone can help.
Lefever Nitro Special made by Ithaca. Montgomery Ward just put their name on it.
The Ithaca Gun Co manufactured the Lefever single barrel shotguns under the Lefever Arms Co. name after it acquired the company in 1916. This model was made between 1927 and 1942; the serial number indicates yours was made in 1928.
I have no records of a Browning 16ga shotgun having a A prefix to the serial number.Please check and list the model number(or name model) of your shotgun in your next post.
The model will be stamped on the barrel right after the Winchester name.
Your shotgun was made for montgomery wards hence the name western field,by stevens.The model designation for your shotgun from stevens was the model 520.These stevens model 520 shotguns were made from 1912-1932 with a total production of 191,000 guns.
The Sweet sixteen name is the model of your Browning auto-5 shotgun!Is the number 51666 the serial number of your shotgun?Please re-post your question so that a answer can be provided.
Triplet Steel was a mark used by Syracuse Arms and Western Arms Corp was a trade name used by Ithaca about 1928-1945. I can't remember all the history right now, but somewhere Syracuse became a part of Ithaca, so I'd say your shotgun was probably made around 1928-30. It's purpose was most likely for hunting but possibly for trap shooting.
Ithaca did not make any Wards Western Field Shotguns. Most were made by Stevens/Savage or Mossberg.Western Field, the Montgomery Ward brand name, should not be confused with Western Arms Company, a division of Ithaca that made shotguns that appear identical to Ithaca's Lefever Nitro Special from 1929 to 1946.
