Guys, I'm copying this from tndeer.com where I'm a member. It's a post from a police detective who is trying to find the owner of a rare and collectible shotgun that has been recovered several years after being reported stolen in Nashville. This site gets a huge amount of traffic and I wanted to share this here in hopes of it reaching somebody that knows where the shotgun belongs.....somebody wants this beautiful weapon back....... "To who this may concern. Good Morning , My name is David Ogle AKA on TNDEER as Yotekiller011. I'm a Detective in Knoxville and have recovered a very rare 1933 Ithaca 28ga. Shotgun. This gun maybe 1 of 3 examples in existence according to the collector/broker that shipped it. Only 44 were ever made. I know that it was reported stolen in Nashville in 1972 but Nashville Metro Police said they don't have archives that old. I know it's a long shot but if anyone knows of someone who was a Victim of the theft of this gun I'd really appreciate you having them call me. I'm a gun enthusiast just as many of you are and know if this belong to my family I'd want it back. My goal is to get it back to its rightful owner or descendants." Respectfully, Det. David Ogle, AKA Yotekiller011. 865 215-7032, or cell 865 254-6886 ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/gtWLSHw.jpeg)

Great story. Hope the owner or heirs get it back. Amazing it’s still in one piece not thrown off a bridge.

Very Nice hardware!
Bet the thieves didn't know what a 28ga was in 1972.
God Bless the detective for trying to find the rightful owner/heirs.

Here's some more detective work that was 52 years ago and more than likely the owner was in his 40 to 60's so he is prolly dead. So now what?

Wiley,
you're a GOOD MAN for posting this and trying to help some one recover their property that was stolen 52 years ago.
I hope the someone, or one of their family members is around to be able to identify it and have it returned to those it belonged to so long ago.
I hope whoever stole it spent a good long time in jail, and has an A Hole wide enough to drop a basketball into it without touching the sides of his colon.

"wow...
Understatement....Recovered " several years after it was stolen..."???!
If a couple = 2;
A few = 3;
Some = 4; and,
Several = 52.....
Best of luck...
If it was owned by the son of the original purchaser then the son is probably at least 75 and likely closer to 80.
Was there a minimum age to buy a long gun in 1933?
Who could afford one in the depression?
What was the original sales price?

Today, he’d probably get catch and release. He’d get a court date, which he could skip without consequence.
I’ve only ever seen one Ithaca NID 28 gauge. Very sweet gun. Probably didn’t even bring much of a premium 52 years ago.
Edited: After careful examination, that one looks like the one ol’ gramps had. It must be mine! Yea, that’s the ticket! 😏

Det. Ogle,
Since the shotgun was report stolen in Nashville, the oldest shotgun/clay target club in Nashville is Nashville Gun Club, even after 52 years might be of some help (615) 913-6575. Could also float a post on Shotgun World.com and Doublegunshop.com (Ithaca Gun Collectors).
Good Luck

What about Fed. records? Nashville trashed theirs, still gets reported to NCIC and ATF. Unless Nashville dropped the ball back when
