    The Ithaca pistols in that serial number range were not shipped in numerical serial number order, so it would take a tedious search to try and find it. Most Ithaca pistols in that serial number range went to either Benecia or Raritan.

            Thanks Bob. I assume that Raritan would be US Army.

              Hi everyone! I'm new to the forum.
              I'm looking for informations about Ithaca sn 1212904. I'm Italian. I suppose it was made in 1943 shipping 13 november. I'm looking for where it was shipped to. Army, Navy, Usaf, Usmc? Thanks, RALPH WESTWOOD.

                Another one of those that someone will have to be kind and patient enough to search the records for. Shipped between November 1943 and April 1944.

                    Yep, that is in the random serial number lists, and without the full serial number it can't be found. No. 874720 might have been shipped one place and No.874729 somewhere else.

                      Thank you all! I heard that many Ithacas were shipped to Navy and Usaf. Any special markings?

                          No markings. It has to come from the shipping lists.

                            The vast majority of the ones in that serial number range went to Raritan, with no direct shipments to the Navy. It could have gone from Raritan to the Navy.

                              The one i would take is here in Italy. Someone plated many years ago. I know that its value is null but I'd like to discover its history.
