    Ithaca 37 DS Police Special

    I have this 12 ga. Ithaca. The gun is parkerized and has rifle sights. I believe it was popular among police 2-3 decades ago but was it ever issued to the military ?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    During the Vietnam War the Military did acquire Ithaca Model 37 riot guns that were similar, but not exactly the same. The Military shotguns have a parkerized finish, bead front sight, and non-checkered wood. They did not have rifle sights like the DS Police models.

    I have an Ithaca 37, however it doesn't have a serial on the action, only the barrel has the serial. 2903xx with 2 below it. I recently found out what slam fire means when out pigeon shooting with it.
