Here in New England, and especially northern New England, I have
always found a great deal of respect and appreciation for all Ithaca guns, and of course, the NID. Ithaca shotguns and Winchester rifles were the first choices of the older hunters in my family. They successfully brainwashed me, but I am quite happy with the results. The only slightly adverse effect is that I have drifted away from the doubles in favor of the early Model 37's, but all my daydreams of being afield are always populated with Ithacas, NID's and Model 37's.
