I have a 16 ga NID in excellent condition. It was made just after the war, within the last year or two before production was discontinued. Oddly, it is absolutely plain. No engraving. Not even the word Ithaca or the gauge stamped on the barrel. I didn't like the wood, so I had it restocked (straight hand plus semi-beavertail forearm) by a local gunsmith who was in charge of wood for Steve Lamboy's Ithaca Classic Doubles. I still don't understand why there are no markings.

I had an NID 12 ga. 26" that had the Ithaca factory markings on the reciever, but no marking on the barrels. And no serial numbers, nor any sign it ever had them*. Bought it at a small gun show about 40 miles from Ithaca. Guess where that came from?

(*I occasionally watch cop shows and am always amused by the "the serial numbers were filed off" line, especially on tiny S&W snubbies and Raven .25s. SOMEBODY out there in criminal land is a MASTER filer.....and what's left of the gun when the Master is done?)

The similarity to the LC Smith Ideal grade engraving is something that makes me wonder if there was some connection by engravers.
