Welcome to ithacaowners! Looks like you have a gun made in 1947. Look at the chart provided by Ithaca.

If I wanted to do an in depth search of models, other than just the year of manufacture. Where would I look or who would I contact? Ithaca?

Knowing that Ithaca made X number of model37's in a given year is very helpful. But if I'm looking at an older Ithaca model 37, how would I find out if it's in original configuration (as shipped from the factory).

For somebody just looking for a shotgun it isn't going to matter. For somebody looking to collect it is. I'm not sure such records exist. If they do, I would be interested.

Maybe a forum header about model variations or links to the information would be helpful.

I own a Ithaca 51 Magnum 12 Gauge serial number 510084464. When was it made? I have been hunting with it since 1974.

Mine has a serial number with the prefix MAG. It is a Model 87 Featherlight made in 1994 according to the serial number (MAG 870038730) but I have no idea what MAG stands for.

Errant Venture,
The mag prefix means it will take a 3" shell.

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. 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.
