Presenting the Ithaca Model 37 Featherlight Trap, a pump-action shotgun steeped in American history and well-regarded for its performance. Manufactured in the United States in 1967, this 12 Gauge firearm is steeped in character and tradition, making it a tantalizing prospect for collectors and hunters alike. Despite signs of wear and a significant crack on the stock, the gun remains in fair condition, fully operational with an excellent bore condition.
The Model 37 Featherlight was launched by Ithaca Gun Company in 1937, appreciated ever since for its lightweight design. This particular model sports a unique woodland camouflage finish, further enhanced by beautifully detailed game scene engravings on both sides of the receiver. The left side features a wetland scene with ducks in flight, while the right side depicts a grassland scene with a dog chasing pheasants. These engravings not only add to the gun's aesthetic appeal but also narrate a tale of hunting adventures.
This gun's distinguishing "slam-fire" feature, coupled with a standard 4-round capacity, makes it an excellent choice for hunting. The gun may require some restoration work due to the cracked stock, but with a little dedication, it can reclaim its former glory. The gun is sold AS-IS, and its potential for restoration adds another layer of appeal for those who enjoy reviving such treasures.
