ivers johnson 16 gauge

mjgill1
I have an ivers johnson 16 guage shotgun model #92603 and am having a hard time finding info on it. I recon it is from the late 18's or early 1900's. Can anyone give me an idea of it's history and value?

Thanks in advance,
Mike

    a champion single barrel shotgun with no letter code suffix is generally considered to have been manufactured between 1909 and 1919.

    1909-1922
    Single barrel; rebounding center mounted hammer; top lever operated break open design; gauges: 12, 16, and 20; barrel length: 28, 30, and 32 inches (features barrel and lug forged in one piece) bored full chock only; American black Walnut butt stock and fore-end; automatic extractors; weight 6_ pounds; overall length with 30 inch barrel 45 inches; case hardened receiver (nickel available as option), browned barrel; automatic ejectors extra cost option; .410 bore, 24 and 28 gauges offered in 1913; 24 gauge dropped 1928; all gauges except 12 dropped after 1941; name changed to Champion single Barrel in 1917.
    CHAMPION SINGLE BARREL
    1923-1978
    This is the same gun as the earlier Model 36 champion except that the smaller gauges are now built on the same frame as the large gagues. See above picture for specifications. The exact year production stopped has not yet been determined. Some of these single barrel shotguns have been seen with Canadian marking, these were most likely shipped to Canada and then marked as there is no evidence that Iver Johnson's Arms & Cycle Works ever had a manufacturing factory in Canada
    VALUE: 100%=$250 60%=$95
    Add 15% for 24, 28 gauges

    Thanks! Not worth much considering the age but still a good sentimental piece.

    How about a Stevens model 67 Series E, 12 ga. 2 3/4 & 3" shells by savage arms. Sure is a neat looking old bird gun. I received both of these from family that has passed on.
