The barrel is stamped "MODEL 51 — FEATHERLIGHT — 12 GA — 2¾ CHAMBER — PROOF TESTED, ITHACA GUN CO., INC., ITHACA, N.Y. — MADE IN U.S.A. — ROTO FORGED," with an individual serial number stamped on the receiver alongside scrollwork engraving and a full-choke barrel marking.

The walnut stock and forearm are cut with sharp diamond-point checkering panels, and the buttstock finishes with a black recoil pad accented by a white spacer line. Overall condition is excellent, with crisp engraving, bright wood, and only minimal handling wear throughout. A great-handling classic American autoloader for collectors and wingshooters alike — the Ithaca 51 Featherlight pairs smooth, reliable gas operation with the quality fit and finish Ithaca built its reputation on.
