Ithaca model 37 Ultra-Featherlight? Youth?

[Grouser]

Been casting around the net for info on this model in 20 ga. Just bought this gun. Its a 37 Ultra-featherlight, 25" vent rib bl Factory IC choke, Weights 4.5 lbs, PG with highly figured wood with cut checkering on both stocks. The wood is 98% and the blue is 100%. The lop is about 13 inches which lead me to suspect that it was cut but it fits in the styrofoam box perfectly. The serial # indicates that is a 1983 production (first year for this model). I believe it to be a Ithaca model 37 Youth Deluxe Ultra Featherlight. I can not find any information with regard to them making a youth model. It may be a rare breed -- anyone have any solid info about this??
Cheers, John

Go to the Ithaca forum in Shotgun World. They should be able to help you. Sounds like a nice 37. Great guns.

This is the Ultra- Featherlight not the Featherlight -- produced from 83 to 89 and is not a police model --- Way toooo fancy.

I have the same gun as yours except with a straight grip stock, 14" LOP to plain, checkered butt, and plain grade wood. Mine's called the "English Ultra" I picked it up last year in Saskatoon at North Pro. It was "as new" and cost under $400. I don't know what your fancier model is worth but I think I got a real good deal.
