Ithaca Model 37 NWTF 2000 Supreme Grade 12 Ga Pump Shotgun, Limited Edition, Satin Nickel/Blue, 26-Inch Barrel
Built for the National Wild Turkey Federation’s 2000 Gun of the Year program, this Ithaca Model 37 Supreme Grade pairs the time-tested bottom-eject action with commemorative styling limited to roughly 1,000 pieces. Gold-filled turkey inlays, scroll engraving, and a satin nickel receiver set it apart visually, while a 26-inch vent-rib barrel, screw-in choke system, and fiber-optic front bead keep it field-ready. Manufactured in 2000 and bearing the serial prefix “NWTF2000,” this shotgun offers collectors a scarce, factory-engraved variation of Ithaca’s classic pump gun.

What’s Included
- Ithaca Model 37 NWTF 2000 Supreme Grade 12 Ga pump-action shotgun with factory screw-in choke installed
This Supreme Grade starts with Ithaca’s smooth, bottom-ejecting Model 37 action. The design feeds and ejects through the receiver bottom, making it naturally ambidextrous and keeping fired hulls away from the shooter’s line of sight.
The satin nickel receiver carries factory scroll engraving accented by gold-filled highlights. A detailed oval vignette of two wild turkeys and a matching gold banner reading “National Wild Turkey Federation 2000” identify the gun’s commemorative purpose and limited production run.
Walnut furniture receives Ithaca’s Supreme-level treatment: deep cut checkering, a high-gloss finish, and an inlaid medallion. A 14-inch length of pull and factory recoil pad combine traditional styling with comfortable shouldering.
The 26-inch steel barrel wears a ventilated rib, a red fiber-optic front bead, and Ithaca’s screw-in choke system for versatility with both 2 3/4- and 3-inch 12-gauge loads. The magazine tube holds four rounds, and the action retains the original slam-fire capability valued by Model 37 enthusiasts.
With its limited run, factory engraving, and practical field features, this NWTF 2000 Supreme Grade represents a collectible yet shootable example of Ithaca’s iconic pump shotgun.
