Like many, I find the 1935 to WW-II NID Field Grades the nicest. This is all covered very well in The Double Gun Journal, Volume Five, Issue 3, by William R. Then around 1935 or 6 Ithaca dropped the cocking indicators from all grades, got rid of the dog and address from the sides of the Field Grade frame and put a wiggly line border around the receiver of the Field Grade with some nice matting on the top of the receiver.Īlso at that time they went to the Baker style snap-on/off forearm for extractor guns.Īfter WW-II some Field Grades were assembled and sold with no engraving or stampings at all on the frames. We begin seeing the stars on guns with serial numbers in the 1927 range, but the stars don't appear in the catalogue pictures until 1929. Then from somewhere between 1927 and 29, to 1934 the Field Grades had the stars engraved on the sides, hinge-pin ends, bottoms, etc. The early Field Grades just had the dog and the address roll stamped on the sides of the frame. Ithaca NID Field Grades - There were at least four different versions of the NID Field Grade over the years of production.
