Description:

Serial Number: 404974
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 had won the Grand American Handicap six times, by 1976 was responsible for over 25% of the total wins at the Grand American and has been the most well-known single barrel trap gun in American history. If you scan the internet for Ithaca Single Barrel Trap (SBT) guns, they are easy to find, and many of them will be less money than this fine Ithaca SBT, sn404974 made in 1962. There are reasons for this; some are less desirable Flues Model SBT’s with serial numbers under 400,000, and none will be in factory new condition like this gun, nor will they have the original factory case. There are many Grade 4E guns, few Grade 5E guns. The Grade 5 guns had solid gold inlays, highly figured walnut, fancier checkering, and fancier engraving. Most have been shot A LOT and show much wear. THIS 5E IS EXCEPTIONAL, WITH OVER 99.5% FACTORY BLUE, CASE COLOR, AND WOOD FINISH AND COMES IN THE ORIGINAL FACTORY HARD CASE. This is the finest example you will ever find and is ready to shoot for generations. Additionally, this gun was likely engraved by Justin Michelina with a more clean-cut floral pattern and larger gold inlays. It is a masterpiece, all original parts, untouched by any restorations AND, she shoots! 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 Knick. These are shooting machines! The barrel is 32” full choke and retains 99.5% factory blue with perfect mirror bore and all the jeweling still evident on the breech face and barrel flats. The receiver retains 99.5% vivid factory case color, perfect screws, the mechanics are perfect, the barrel is tight on the hinge pin and breach face…AND THE WOOD IS EXHIBITION WALNUT WITH FULL FLAME FEATHER CROTCH…STUNNING, with original factory stock dimensions. This gun has it all; high condition factory original metal finishes, gorgeous wood, heavy raised gold inlays, and 32” barrel, housed in a rare factory case. If you ever wanted to own the perfect example of a finely engraved Ithaca Grade 5E Knick SBT, this one is investment quality and sure to increase in value as you enjoy its use. See specifications below. Thanks for looking!
