Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds Ithaca 37 12 ga - What’s it worth

Hello, I have a Ithaca 37 12 [37-3url=https://www.amazon.com/photos/shared/9Nsa2VNOQxC684pDaW6RNA.1Cjo1P9VQ5lbIZghDBD7la]37-3[/url]gauge with 27.5” Mod barrel. Serial numbers match. Has replacement front sight. Gun functions as it should but the bluing is rough and the stock and forend have cracks but do not seem to be a problem and certainly can be fixed.

What is this worth? Looking on Gunbroker completed auctions and other sites, I am not able to determine what this is worth. They seem to be in nicer condition and the pricing is all over the place even for the ones sold. I plan on selling. Any help is appreciated.

37-1

37-2

37-4

37-5

37-6

I will offer my $0.02.

That appears to be a mid-late 50's deluxe featherweight model. One grade above the base featherweight.

The the sub-gauges can command a bit more, but a 12 ga modified with a 28 inch barrel is fairly common. The only configuration less desirable would be a Full choked version.

The finish wear and stock cracks hurt the value, but the cracks can be repaired and would be fine.

Overall my estimation would be $300-350, FWIW.

Probably about right ^

agreed

Yep.

I've been watching the 37's on GB for a month or two now and BlackBart is fairly close.

If the serial number is under 855,000 it will not allow barrel swaps unless the barrels were FIT to that particular shotgun. So if in fact it is a pre 855,000 numbered shotgun and given the overall condition makes it a $250 shotgun at best IMO.

yep forgot about the barrels

250 to 300

I gave 225.00 for one in 20 gauge quite a few years ago in similar condition.Gun had been fired so much when you action release it just fell on its own, it was a older slam fire model..smoothest pump gun I ever owned but a buddy wanted it worse then me.

Thanks everyone for the responses. I will be putting it up for sale in the next day or so.
