Picked up an Ithaca model 72 Saddlegun today on trade, 22lr. I know a little about them, but looking for more info on them. Google -fu doesn't bring up much. It's got the Ithaca NY and West Germany stamp, which is correct for the gun... but are they all stamped West German? Any help or knowledge on this gun would be greatly appreciated.

It's in fair shape and I'm considering refinishing, re-bluing, etc. but don't want to ruin any value. Given the condition I can't think it would lose value. It's a great shooter, needs a serious good cleaning though.
 
I was stripping it down for a good cleaning. I'll post pics in the morning.

Better late than never...see below. I've decided to buy some Aluminum Blacking to see if that will clean it up a bit...otherwise i'll buy a new cover for $50 from numrich.20181226_155500.jpg 20181226_160030.jpg 20181226_155500.jpg 20181226_160030.jpg 20181226_155511.jpg
