You stated that the Ithaca model 37 lacked a left hand safety. This isn't exactly true as I have a Ithaca 37, 12, with a factory option left hand safety, that I purchased way back in 1984.

Have a 30L with adjustable choke in the back of my safe. Bought it new in 1963 when I was 16. Lots of rabbit, squirrel, and crow hunting with that gun through high school.

The LH safety on an Ithaca 37 wasn't standard fair, but LH buttons were offered that could be swapped in or a dealer could custom order the gun with it from the factory (still can from the new Ithaca Gun Co. as well).
