ithica mod 37 trench shot gun

[oramoc]

visited my near by gun shop and they had two old trench shotguns blueing had turned brown one thousnd for each one. i didnt see any flameing bomb i thought it should have one what do you think and what do you think of the price?

I got mine at J&G back in the early '80s for $175.00...glad I did.
Only the blued '37s were marked with bombs and most of those have game scene receivers, I never seen a parkerized one with bomb proof marks. It should have "P" proof marks though.

looks real nice does it have the flameing bomb on it did you repark it?

No bomb proofs and not a repark...I hand picked it from the bunch they had.

they also had a bunch of GI Win. Mod. 12's too but they were right around $300....alot of money back then, so I passed. :rolleyes: <sigh>
