Shotguns Ithaca 37 Queen Stephanie's bodyguard, Tee-Ninchy (Eddie "Bo" Smith, Jr. ) caries a sawed off Ithaca 37 as his weapon of choice. He carries it with him, (and nearly uses it) during the meeting between Queen Stephanie, and Dutch Schultz. He also uses it to kill several hitmen during the attempted hit on the Queen before being shot to death. When Bumpy and Whispers gain the upper hand during the shootout, Bumpy picks it up and uses it to (unrealistically) set a nearby truck ablaze. Before the hit, one of the Queen's guards can also be seen holding this weapon. The use of the Ithaca 37 , while relatively close to the timeline, is still anachronistic, as it was introduced in 1937.
