Hello to all. In Bruce Canfield's "Combat Shotguns" (fine book, BTW), mention is made of a contract of Ithaca Model 37 riot guns with 22" barrels that was purchased by the "New York Police" in 1941-42. Does anybody know any more about these guns? Were they destined for the NYPD, or the state police? Were they finished to commercial standards, or otherwise? Any property markings known? The 22" barrel is a non-cataloged length, so these ARE a bit unusual...
TIA for any information received!
