? Is there anywhere to check serial # on a Ithaca SKB?

I just bought two 12ga S X S and would like to check the numbers to see what they are.One has some light engraving on it and the other does not have any.

The late Walter Snyder included a listing of Ithaca double guns through 1948 in his book "The Ithaca Gun Company -- from the beginning" but made no reference to the SKB doubles sold under the Ithaca name many years after Ithaca ceased double gun production. I have no idea where you could find the info you seek. Are you sure you have SKB guns and not original Ithacas? -- GIT

They have the stocks just like the SKBs.The older Ithacas had a straight line on the stock where the fit the action I think.I know bad thing for me to do.I think one is a 100 and the other is a 150.

I don't believe the serial numbers identify the models. The model is usually writtern on the barrel. Although since you are asking yours must not have these marks. I have seen a few "SKBs" that had no identifying marks of any kind on them.

These have no marking on the barrels at all.

You might try these folks:

 

 

SKB Shotguns located in Omaha, NE 4441 S 134th St
Omaha, NE 68137
(402) 330-4492

 

I ordered some spare parts from them several years ago.

 

Good luck.

What are you trying to find out? I have never found anywhere to determine year of manufacture of SKB doubles like 100s, 200s, 280s, etc. I also have never found any correlation between serial numbers and the exact model of the gun. There are a lot of variables on SKBs. Most 100s have a splinter forearm but not 100% for example. Most SKBs have a pistol grip stock but a small number have an English straight like stock. Our family has owned or own about 10 SKBs and have inspected many more.
