The Centennial Trade Model commemorates Ithaca’s 100th anniversary with a dedicated run of 2,500 guns identifiable by the CENT serial prefix. This example falls within that commemorative block and was made in the United States during the early 1980s.
The receiver carries a silver-toned finish with factory scroll engraving and themed vignettes unique to the Centennial series: hunters with a dog on the left and a building vignette beneath a "CENTENNIAL" banner on the right. Markings include "PROOF TESTED" and "MADE IN U.S.A."
Built on the proven Model 37 design with bottom loading and ejection, it has a 24 in. ventilated rib, roto-forged steel barrel chambered for 2 3/4 in. shells. The setup includes a single front bead, bead-style sighting, a cross-bolt safety, and a 4+1 capacity with 2 3/4 in. shells.
This shotgun is fitted with an English-style straight-grip stock that is not original to the Featherlight Centennial configuration and is likely sourced from a Model 37 English Ultralight. The stock and handguard are in great shape, and the length of pull measures 14.0 in., offering a classic straight-hand feel.
