Serial 57XXX
The Ithaca model 37 is the rarest of all military Trench shotguns, its commercial blue finish is highly polished, the “RLB” and ordnance bomb is stamped on the left side of receiver, with “P” stamped on barrel, and the stocks were not proofed.
There were three types, one as pictured above had the 30” barrel no hand guard or bayonet attachment, the second style looked exactly like the one pictured above except it had a 20” barrel, and the third style had the hand guard and bayonet attachment with a 20” barrel. Only 1,420 Trench guns were ordered in 1941 the serial number range 49,000-62,000.
This particular Trench shotgun is the Long Barrel 30”, it has a small hair line scratch on stock otherwise it is in great shape for its age, wood is dark rich brown, the caliber is 12gauge.
The Model 37 Military Marked Trench Gen (WWII) was built in three different configurations; The one pictured here is the 30” barrel, they also produced a 20” barrel, and 20” barrel with hand guard and bayonet lug.
This rifle is a rarity and a valuable assist to be treasured in any collection
