Description:
Ithaca 5E Single Barrel Trap Shotgun
99% FACTORY CONDITION, 1927, 34" BARRELS
General Specs: Ithaca, Year 1927, 12 Gauge, 8lbs 7oz, SBT
Serial Number: 400761
If you scan the internet gun selling sites for Ithaca Single Barrel Trap (SBT) guns, they are fairly easy to find, and many of them will be considerably less to buy than this fine Ithaca SBT, sn400761 made in 1927. There are many reasons for this; some are less desirable Flues Model SBT's with serial numbers under 400,000. There are many Grade 4E guns, few Grade 5E guns. Most have been shot A LOT, and show much wear. Worse yet, most have been altered by the tinkerers they call "Trap Shooters" who cut stocks, add apparatuses, mess with triggers, restock them with odd ball stocks, etc. These guns have little value to shooters who want to shoot fine, vintage and correct shotguns. Now make no mistake, there are few shotguns, modern or vintage, that can come to the traps with the patterns and shooting characteristics, including brute strength, that has been seen in the Ithaca known as the Knickerbocker (Knick for short, named after its designer). For decades it was THE gun to beat at the Grand Nationals of the ATA. These are shooting machines! This gun has it all; untouched, unaltered since leaving the factory (ORIGINAL HAWKINS PAD WAS LIKE ROCK, REPLACED WITH GENUINE VINTAGE HAWKINS IDENTICAL TO ORIGINAL, PHOTOS TO DOCUMENT THIS), nearly 100% factory finishes everywhere, 34" barrel, great stock dimensions, GORGEOUS wood, the works! It is a rare find and there could not be a better condition gun available anywhere. If you ever wanted to own the perfect example of a finely engraved Ithaca Knick SBT, this one is investment quality and sure to increase in value as you enjoy its use.
