A guy that works in the shop here just told me he has inherited his grandfathers old shotgun. It has colors on the back metal part that look like oil on water,and has 2 long barrels that are blue or black. His words, not mine. His mother told him that his grand father purchased it right around the "great depression". He offered it to me because he knows I travel around birdhunting every year. His wife doesn't like guns, and wants it out of the house. What year did Ithaca start producing the NID? What serial number started them off. He thinks it is a 12 ga., but not sure. Were all NID's 2 3/4" chambers? All safe with modern light loads? it would be nice to have an old gun, that didn't reqire 2 1/2" shells.
Thanks in advance,
Bill
