Picked up an O/U 20ga boxlock Model 500......that has Made in Japan as well as Ithaca Gun Co, Canada, Dunville, ON stamped on the bbl.

Could this be a SKB made shotgun? My book on Modern Gun Values (12th Edition) lists under SKB section a 500 that looks exactly the same although there is no info under Ithaca section pertinent to any 500 model.

The firearm in question is in Exc+ condition and very tight, single selective trigger, auto ejectors, 3" chambers, 26" bbls with fixed chokes - IC & Mod.....nice engraving all over the receiver and trigger guard. From the looks of it the previous owner did not expose it to the elements at all :)

It was more an impulse buy as I don't have any experience with Ithaca but the shotgun fit was perfect and it is beautiful :D
