All models save the NID. They did begin in 1883 you may (or may not) know. Now, as I think about it, Steve Barnett had a milti-barrel grade 3 NID that one barrel set WAS damascus. Since the NID came into the market in 1926, that set has yet to be explained.

I remember that NID. I wondered about its originality.

I had in my hand today a 20ga.grade 3 that had 28" Damascus
barrels. It did not have Ithaca name on the barrel but the
numbers on the barrel and receiver match and size was the same.
It had been refinished, it was nice. To me it look like a NID
with the short rounded side reciver

I lost the link to pictures. I figured that the barrels in question were added later. Perhaps by a company gunsmith or by someone with as much talent as sense of humor. I like finding things that can not be, never were made and still exist.

While WWI seriously decreased its production. Damascus was still in commercial production in Beligum until about 1938.

Ithaca had some damascus tubes lying around in 1922 shocked Brad Bachelder refinished this Nitro Special and the owner was unaware of the mismatched barrels
