The patent application was filed Jan. 19, 1932, and the patent was granted July 26, 1932, Patent No. 1,868,953.

It is not in the 1931-32 Ithaca Gun Co. catalog, but is in the 1932. The original pads, in use before WW-II, had PAT..APPL'D.FOR below the logo. After the War the pads had PATENTED below the logo. In 1950 they introduced the version with the aluminum base. The repros are the post War version.
