Manufactured in 1971 this is a very nice Ithaca Model 37 Featherlight 20 gauge shotgun. All metal parts are unmarred and rust-free. The stock and forearm wood is in excellent condition with the left side of the stock showing what appears to be a loss of some of the clear finish. It looks like it may have been wrapped in some type of plastic that pulled the clearcoat when removed. The clear coat is still there it just has a smudged appearance. (See pictures). The barrel is 25.5 inches long when measured end to breach.
