28' barrels, chokes both opened to about IC.MODELS, SERIAL NUMBERS AND MANUFACTURING DATES FOR ITHACA GUNS They'd also taken the wood off a model 100 forend for the splinter, then cut down the original 200E forend iron to fit, so the ejectors would still function. Someone had done a nice job of converting the stock from PG to straight. (All the 280's had beavertails.) Asked to look at it, marked 200E on the barrels-which would have meant pistol grip/beavertail. I knew it was odd immediately when I saw it hanging on the wall: straight grip, splinter forend. Found a 200E 20ga in a pawn shop a few years back that was as 'customized' as I've ever seen (other than one belonging to a gunsmith friend who did a double trigger conversion). I've seen a few customized jobs like that. Salmo, if that's an Ithaca-marked gun, I'm guessing someone either performed surgery on the pistol grip or else (much less likely) fit a stock off a 280. Here in Canada they go for around $1000 in good condition. In my humble opinion they are a great value for the money. With being so light, however, the 12 does have a good amount of recoil and I really start to feel it if I shoot a lot of rounds. I took it to Kansas a few years ago and shot pheasants and quail tooI love that gun! Bought the 12 gauge in the early/mid 90's and it too is a great gun. I bought the 20 gauge in 1987 for $575 and it has function flawlessly ever since. You might check to see what he has: SOTF, I have two SKB 100's. Last time I spoke with Mark Beasland, he had several Ithaca SKB's. Nice to have it back home.Ĭhokes are open enough that I would not hesitate to shoot steel, although it does not have 3' chambers. My new/old gun has already accounted for a few Iowa pheasants. Unusual even in 12's, and as I said above, I don't think you'll find any 20's with 28' barrels that have the more open chokes. This one is a 12ga, 28', but choked IC/M. Model 150: extractor gun like the 100, but with a BT forend. I just reacquired the first sxs I ever bought, also an Ithaca SKB. SOTF, you've made an excellent choice for your first SxS. Quality remained very good from start to finish. I have never seen a SN chart by which one could date Ithaca SKB's, but I don't think it's very important. Ithaca imported the SKB doubles from 1966-75 or 76, after which Mitsui was the importer for a couple years. I don't believe I've ever seen a 20ga Model 100 that was anything other than IC/M if 25' and M/F if 28'. The 100's are lighter because of the splinter FE vs BT, and extractor vs ejector. Some of the 25' 20ga 280's were IC/IC, but most were IC/M. (There are some higher grade ones out there, but very few.) All had BT forends and ejectors. The only straight grip Ithaca SKB's you're likely to see are the 280's. If Larry Brown is lurking he can set me straight because he knows SKB's (among other guns of course). I'm doing all the above based on failing memories. Most 100's with 28' barrels are going to be choked full/mod. The 280's are ejector guns and the model 100 is an extractor gun. They feel real different as compared to the model 100. I think the 280 came with 25' barrels (Ic/Mod) and they also had a beavertail foreend. The straight stocked gun are to the best of my knowledge model 280's. The model 100's have a splinter type foreend. ) I'm using an 870 Special Field from the mid 80's now, with the straight stock and shorter magazine tube, so that would keep it somewhat consistent switching between guns. (That being said, I really like the lines of the top gun in the bottom picture. I am not sure if I want to go with this one, or wait, as I had an English stock in mind.

That is what it says on the side of the receiver. 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'. I haven't handled it yet, I'm still emailing back and forth for more detail. He wants $1100 for the gun, the ad says it is in like new condition.
