Show off your New Ithaca Double...

I'd like to but I'm having trouble finding out how to post pictures. Can someone help me?
|

to post a pic the pic must exist on the internet .
if you have webspace or a webpage it can be uploaded there , or a place like photo bucket many internet providers give you limited space with your account once the photo exists on the web its a matter of copying the location its kinda hard to describe but reletivly easy to do. |

Field grade 16 gauge. Serial number 433xxx, made in 1926. Not a pristine example but in pretty good shape. Like all the early NID 16s this one has 2 9/16" chambers. |
Grade1, 1926 NID 16ga

Very nice, guys! Considering their age and I am sure were used constantly, I would say they are looking great!

Walter, those are three beautiful guns!
If your user name is your real name, I want you to know I have a copy of your book and it has given me much valuable information and many hours of pleasure. Welcome to this forum and thank you for posting these photos! |
I would not classify that double as a gun so much as I would call it a museum piece. it is simply magnificent. --Jim

Just acquired. A 16 ga. field BUT appears unfired. Anyway, here is what 1937 colors look like. For those who care about originality.

Serial# 450xxx, made in 1927. NID Field grade, 12 gauge, 28" barrels choked full and modified. It's in remarkably good condition.

Nice indeed.

Thanks 1977cutcher! The crazy part is I bought it on Gunbroker and the seller's photos were so poor I thought the wood (and maybe the metal) had been refinished. His description didn't make any fancy claims, he just it was "in good condition." I didn't bid very high, but fortunately I was the high bidder.
I was shocked when I unwrapped the gun and saw it was all original and in mint condition! Most of my Gunbroker purchases have not been this lucky. ![]() |
Here are a few pix if my 1926 Ithaca 28ga with (28 inch barrel) It's had a long "fun" life in the field.

call503russ, your gun has character! A 28ga NID is hard to find in any condition. Thanks for sharing it with us!
