Crotch figured American walnut pistol grip buttstock measures 14-1/2″ over Ithaca type sunburst pad with aluminum base plate. Checkering is of typical 4E fleur de lis style.

Rear portion of rib has lifted, re-soldering has been attempted, but it needs to be correctly done. Action retains 40 – 50% orig case color, the balance fading to mottled pewter gray. Trigger guard may have been re-blued at one time with most finish remaining. Top lever is considerably silvered at thumbpiece. Stocks retain what is likely an old re-varnish over orig varnish, checkering somewhat dirty and worn, but not re-cut. Face of pad has been sanded removing any marking. Bores are excellent. Action is tight. Ejectors and trigger work. A great example of this extremely scarce Ithaca variation. Records indicate only ten 28 ga NID’s were made in this grade. 4-42241 MGM56 (10,000-15,000)
