USED Ithaca Model 600 12 Gauge Over/Under – SKB Japan – Engraved

This Ithaca Model 600 is a classic Japanese-made over/under chambered in 12 gauge with 2¾-inch chambers. Manufactured by SKB in Japan for Ithaca, the barrels are marked “Custom Crafted for Ithaca by SKB” and “Made in Japan – Roto-Forged.” Ithaca-imported SKB shotguns from this period have earned a strong following for their traditional construction, attractive styling, and solid handling characteristics.

This example features a blued over/under barrel set with ventilated rib, engraved receiver, decorative engraved trigger guard, checkered walnut stock and forearm, and a gold-tone single trigger. A tang-mounted safety/selector is present, along with a red front bead. The buttstock has been fitted with a replacement/custom recoil pad.

Overall condition is good. The metal retains strong finish overall, while the walnut shows numerous scratches, handling marks, finish wear, and small impressions consistent with regular field use. The checkering remains well defined and the engraving presents nicely. The exact barrel length and choke configuration should be physically verified before final cataloging. Ithaca/SKB Model 600 shotguns were offered during the company's Japanese SKB-import era of the 1960s and 1970s.
