Our Assessment: The Ithaca NID (New Ithaca Double) was Ithaca’s most refined and rugged boxlock design, produced from 1926 to 1948. The Super-10 variant was a rare, purpose-built long-range fowling piece designed to replace the aging 8-gauge market guns and to meet the needs of sportsmen who required superior power and patterning at extreme ranges. The 2 7/8 chambered Super-10 was the magnum of its era—ideal for geese, turkey, and high-flying waterfowl.
This example, built in 1938, is a solid and highly collectible representation of the rare and powerful Super-10. With 32” Full choked barrels, a checkered forearm, and strong case colors still intact, it remains an excellent field-grade shooter or collector’s piece for the sportsman who appreciates the bygone era of American craftsmanship and big-bore shotgun engineering.
Whether you’re looking to add a high-performance vintage waterfowl gun to your collection or searching for a standout piece from one of America’s great gunmakers, this Ithaca NID Super-10 deserves your attention. Please see our high quality photos and good luck on your bid! -M.C.
