COMMEMORATIVE AND LIMITED ISSUE MODELS


Unique serial number sequences were established for special edition and commemorative Model 37 and Model 87 guns. Much of the data presented for the Model 37 guns came from microfilm copies of Ithaca shipping records on file at the National Tracing Offices of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and from microfiche copies of invoices from the 1980 era that were found at the Ithaca factory. The Model 87 data came from the serial number records of the Ithaca Acquisition Corporation.
