	The Ithaca 37, also known as the Ithaca Model 37, is a pump-action shotgun made in large numbers for the civilian, law enforcement and military markets. Based on a 1915 patent by firearms designer John Browning for a shotgun initially marketed as the Remington Model 17, it utilizes a novel combination ejection/loading port on the bottom of the gun which leaves the sides closed to the elements. The Model 37 was used by the United States Armed Forces in World War II, the Korean War, and especially the [[Vietnam War]], where it gained a great reputation for reliability in the jungles of Vietnam when generally used by special and special operations forces like the Navy SEALs and Army Green Berets.

	After World War I, Ithaca Gun Company aimed to rival the Winchester Model 1912 with their own pump-action shotgun, the Ithaca Model 33, later released as the Ithaca 37 in 1937 due to patent issues. Despite economic challenges during the Depression and World War II, Ithaca produced shotguns for military use alongside [[M1911]] pistols and M3 submachine guns. Post-war, full production resumed, and the Ithaca 37 became the longest-running pump-action shotgun in history. Despite ownership changes and a temporary rename to Model 87, production continues, with over 2 million units made by 2003, making it the only pre-World War II shotgun still in production.
