Description:
The Ithaca Gun Co. produced the most iconic trap gun ever invented, the Knickerbocker or "Knick" Single Barrel Trap Gun. In production from 1922 until the last Knick was made in 1982, 5740 were produced. “By 1935 the Knick in the hands of able shooters won the Grand American Handicap six times, by 1976 was responsible for over 25% of the total wins at the Grand American. They made a lot of Grade 4E’s, but the 5E was much more ornate, more expensive, and is a harder gun to find. For shooters who want to shoot fine,vintage and correct shotguns. 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 Knick. These are shooting machines!”
Grade is in the eye of the beholder and we graded this 5 E with 99% factory blue and engraving, +90% color and “original” figured original walnut, perfect screws and maintained to original factory configuration.
This fortunate keepsake discovery, was part of a valued collector's estate.
This1931 5E - Knick is completely original which will increase in value over time. Compared to refurbished models selling for $4,900.00 and more
