By 1900 a "condensed steel" barreled model named Quality X was introduced. New Ithaca Gun was produced in gauges 10-, 12-, 16- and very rarely 20-gauge. Lower grade models carried logo "New Ithaca Gun" usually within a banner on each side of frame.

Extremely rare 20-gauge model requires an expert appraisal.
