Could an Ithaca 4E sxs be gotten without the ebony tip on the forend? And if that same gun had extractors and not ejectors would it then be called a grade 4 and not a 4E?

The E is for ejectors. No ejectors--just a Grade 4. All I have seen have the ebony inset but I never say never. You will have to look at the other Ithaca vintage indicators. Can you post a photo both sides? e.g. top and underside.

Pictures of the top and underside of the forend correct? This gun without the ejectors and double triggers sounds like a cheaper version of 4E but it is interesting to me and I do like double triggers. Should the water table have a 4 or 4E stamped on it? As soon as I get the pictures I'll try to post them up.

No E. It is a 4E only if it has ejectors. Nothing wrong about not having ejectors. The 32 inch barrel is awesome at the traps.

This quality gun was catalogued as a No. 4 with ejectors an extra cost option through the 1930 Ithaca Gun Co. catalogue. From 1931 on the No. 3 and 4 were catalogued as 3E and 4E with ejectors included. I've never seen a NID with an E included in the grade marking on the watertable.
