I have an auction bill for Saturday, September 10th that advertises an Ithaca Model 600 o/u 12 ga. My research says it is an SKB model 600, with a value in the $600 range. Ithaca also imported Perazzi's, but with my luck, this won't be one. What are you trying to find out? I have never found anywhere to determine year of manufacture of SKB doubles like 100s, 200s, 280s, etc. I also have never found any correlation between serial numbers and the exact model of the gun. There are a lot of variables on SKBs. Most 100s have a splinter forearm but not 100% for example.

I finally figured out how to find the actual serial numbers and then went to check and see what I actually had. I thought it was a 12 gauge but it seems it is a 10 gauge instead. Anyway, I did not find it under the New Ithaca Gun but under Crass & NIG Models the serial number is 41268 below that is A and then below that is 10.

SKB ARMS COMPANY
This respected Japanese manufacturer began making shotguns for U.S. market in 1960s. Made various models for Browning, Weatherby and other American brands. In 1970s, SKB began marketing many models under its own name. End of 2009, SKB factory closed its doors. Final inventory was purchased by G. U. Inc. of Omaha, Nebraska. As of mid 2013, G.U. Inc. began importing several shotgun models from Turkey under the SKB brand. Approximately 1967 to 1977, Ithaca imported a series of over/under and side-by-side shotguns from SKB. These models were virtually identical to other SKB-made guns and had the same model numbers. Values shown in this section also apply to Ithaca guns.
