Anyone know anything about Iver Johnson Shotguns?

[CrkdLtr]

My father has loaned me is 20ga Iver Johnson Excel (Excel is etched on the side of the shotgun) for gun season. I have never heard of the name before, internet information is limited and supposedly the shotgun is older than my dad (59 years).

What it looks like:

Thx

I have heard over my years of Iver Johnson. I even had an old Iver break top .32 S&W 5 shot for awhile. Very weak cartridge but then again it was sort-of a small gun, too big for a really good pocket carry. They were guns made long ago and I think in good condition somewhat collectible.

I have an IJ .410 that was pre Serialization looks just like that one. Nice little shotty.

Stuckey, there is a forum that I belong to that has an info/whats it worth forum. One of the members literally wrote the book on Iver Johnsons and H&R's. His name is B. Goforth.
If you post your info in the link below he'll answer your questions. You'll need to supply photos if possible and all other info.
Read the Sticky in the link.
