Mitsui SKB model 100 (vs. Ithaca version)

[Ripsaw]

I found an SKB model 100 in pristine condition today at a local gun shop. It is marked Mitsui, Chicago, IL.   So it is not an Ithaca gun. As I understand it, Mitsui took over importing SKBs after Ithaca went belly-up. That arrangement only lasted a few years apparently.  I paid $799 for the gun. Pistol grip, inertial trigger with selector button, recoil pad, beaver tail forearm. 3 inch chambers. Nicely finished stock. During test firing, I confirmed that the inertial trigger resets consistently with Win AA LNLR factory ammo.  

 

Any concerns that this is a Mitsui vs. an Ithaca? Looks nearly identical except the receiver looks embossed rather than engraved like my other SKB, an Ithaca Model 200.

Doesn't matter who the importer was.  If it is an SKB it is an SKB.  I have seen some with no marking of any kind.
