The guy that made the repro Ithaca guns (forgot his name, nice guy) had a booth set up at the SCI show in the early to mid 90s. I gave him $1000 and was told I would get one of the first guns. Two or three years later, still no gun, so I asked for my money back and he gladly sent me a check.

I should have held out, I was afraid they would fold up and I'd have no gun and no money. Wish I had one of those guns now.
