How about a pre-war, first year production 20 ga. with solid rib..?

Bought it used, metal as you see it, wood pretty rough. Refinished wood, recut checkering, added the pad.

First Ithaca 37 with a solid rib I have ever seen....very nice...a classic for sure.

37R

Yeah, pretty rare.

It has a Deluxe Polychoke. I figure that was a popular vintage set up and use it as is. The gun is very light. If I cut the Polychoke and install choke tubes, it wouldn't handle as well, would be too whippy.

It's not too unlike shooting a 28 ga., just uses slightly larger shells.

Edited to add, 1940 date of mfg.
