  The Ithaca has been called one of the best Hawken replicas, having been copied from a rifle owned by Kit Carson. It was made in very limited numbers at the factory in Ithaca, New York by the Ithaca Black Powder Division and sold in 1978 for $429 (a kit gun was available for $258). The rifle was .50 cal., had a 32" octagonal barrel, double triggers, browned steel furniture and barrel and German silver forestock cap and key escutcheons. Barrels were 1" in diameter and rifled with a 1:66" twist for patched ball. Production figures are unavailable but their relatively high price in 1978 would probably have inhibited mass sales. A used example was recently listed on the internet at $799.00
