First let me say the Ithica is spelled Ithaca.  They are very good guns!

Second the bottom feed bottom eject model 37 has been around a long, long time having hunting, military and law eforcement lineage/history.

In recent years the 37 pump has seen some revival and mechanical changes (namely the trigger... used to be you hold the trigger back, keep on pumping , and the shells go a shukin' & a flyin').  Most of the new 37 changes are cosmetic and the gun functions the same.

Famous hunting guns of Ithaca's 37 were the Deerslayer and the Featherweights... most came w/ engravings.

Ithaca was way ahead of its time using high visability glow sights - however not true fiber-optics like today's versions.

The guns new in the box are not cheaper than most versions of the Remington 870... so it may be a good deal.

Make doggone sure it is not a China made copy!!!  They sell for cheap, cheap, cheap!!! and are CHEAP!

The newest Deerslayer has a fully rifled, free-floated barrel attached to the receiver in a permanent manner.

I like the new Turkeyslayer model 37... that's pretty cool!

To my Knowledge... there are no recognized Ithaca stocking dealers in the State of Alaska!  I decided to check, and my figuring was true.

So more than likely it is not the newest/latest models & if you are saying it is cheaper than the 870 it could be an older model which ius just fine (*check the trigger function) or somthing in between... here is a link so you can figure this out and then look at a blue book of values. http://www.ithacagun.com/product/serial_check.shtml
