Answer 2

Since the current Ithaca company does not have those records we can only guess at the date. I do have these facts and you can see where your shotgun fits. Serial number 510040xxx was made circa 1973 as it is a 20ga and they were not mfg until then. Then 510080xxx was made circa 1975, and 5100103xxx was mfg circa 1977. So you 510061631 was made circa 1974. Best I can do. Remember this is only a guess based on actual purchase dates of the three Ithaca shotgun mentioned. nge of ownership at Ithaca, and published records are incomplete. They began making the Model 51 in 1970. You might try emailing Ithaca Gun Company to see if they can provide a date of manufacture.
