Agree!! Gave $120 for mine about 7 yrs ago. Bought it in a pawn shop in Washington state. Didn't realize how old it was until I checked the numbers on the Ithica website. Made in the early 50s, and still in perfect condition (for a shotgun that gets used a lot every season). It's a 16 ga., so finding shells is a hassle, but it's worth it. Anyone else have a problem shooting anything other than "low-brass"? Mine will hang every time, but I've found nothing physically wrong with the gun.
