I recently learned that a company at least calling itself Ithaca is supposedly still making model 37's. Yeah, $2800 per the website. I was shocked as I thought all vestige of Ithaca Gun Co was long gone, which shows how much I keep up with guns younger than I am. And is there anybody out there really buying these things for 2800 bucks? Although, looking at what's available on the new market now, unless someone likes black or camo plastic, you're pretty much out of luck.

No, the only ones bringing "$2800" are factory engraved ones or the 28ga. Genuine military issue trench guns are even more expensive. Old gun can be had for a song. For example, early post war 12ga (had all pre-war features) in about 98% condition sold for $450 recently, that's a deal. Sixteen can be found for about $100 more and 20ga for $200 more. Nothing can compete with them in pump shotgun department.
I had Ohio-made 20ga the only complaint was its 7&1/4lb weight just like 20ga BPS. They aren’t common on secondary market because not that many were made and sold. I can't shoot pump worth a damn, but I keep 16ga Model 97 because it mikes fine Holoween prop. Most what you find were made from mid 1950s to ca 1985.
