Description:

Manufactured in the 1960s, the "S" prefix Ithaca Model 37 shotguns were intended to supplement the U.S. government's then-dwindling stockpile of WWII-surplus riot and trench shotguns, which were in high demand in the jungles of Vietnam. Single brass bead sight, with "FULL" choke marking (gauges improved modified) and 2 3/4 inch chamber. "P" stamps are present on top of the chamber and receiver, with matching numbers on the barrel and receiver and "U.S." on the right side of the receiver. Fitted with a 16-groove forearm and smooth pistol grip stock, which has a serrated buttplate and a 14 inch length of pull.

Rating Definition:

Excellent, with 97% plus of the original matte gray parkerized finish, showing mild cycling wear on the magazine, along with some light spotting and handling marks. A screw is absent from the barrel band. The stock is also good, with a small crack at the wrist, some light nicks visible on the buttplate and some light scratches. Mechanically excellent.
