No I found the model it is the following:
m-49 .22 cal short, long, long rifle
Ithatica gun co. made in USA
It is a lever action rifle
Looks to be from the 50's or 60's
Pics should be posted shortly
Joker Card:
IF its from WWII don't put a scope on it. Most WWII rifles didn't have scopes nuless they were snipers. You don't see M1 Garands with mounted scopes, or Kar89k's with scopes on them. Thats silly
Deathwish:
Sounds like a real antique if it's Lever-action and using .22 Short.

They weren't manufactured with Picatinny rails, silly. If you wanted a put a scope on, mount a damn rail on or screw it in and mangle up the furniture.
Atomshock:
GOT THE PICTURES :D
Yeah, I know its a bit worn...
Deathwish:
It looks as if it's been neglected, just how old is it and how much did you buy it for? It looks like a real antique.
