These original Ithaca trench shotguns can only be identified by the serial number range and the Ordnance inspection proofs found on the left side of the shotgun. The barrels were fitted with the early, short, 6 hole sheet metal handguard which had a bail sling swivel on the bayonet lug and standard sling swivel on the lower underside toe area of the buttstock. They had an all blued metal finish with an Ithaca factory commercial varnish on the pump handle and buttstock. These WWII Ithaca shotguns were originally manufacture for use as military guard guns and eventually were used in the Far East as effective weapons during the jungle fighting.
There was an additional Ithaca contract let during Vietnam, however they were produced in a considerably higher serial number range consistent with the 1962-69 commercial shotgun production. There was only a very small number of original Ithaca trench shotguns manufactured during WWII, all in a documented serial number range of "57820" to "61450", with this example being numbered "57972".
