Historically, the Ithaca Model 37 was used extensively by the U.S. The receiver sports the simple engraving that was originally drawn by Ithaca firearms engraver Bill McGraw: waterfowl on the right-hand side and pheasants and a dog on the left-hand side. The barrel has a floating vent rib and the traditional orange/pink Raybar front bead sight. It has three Briley chokes: Improved Cylinder, Modified, and Full. It's the Deluxe vent-rib version and has a checkered pistol-grip buttstock with 0.75-inch-thick recoil pad, checkered forearm, and 28-inch barrel that's threaded for screw-in choke tubes.

Improved Cylinder, Modified, and Full chokes came with the gun. The review sample Model 37 was made in 1997, and its barrel is threaded to accept screw-in chokes.
