The forstock of the gun snaps off. There is no lever, you just pull it. Then break open the gun. The barrel then lifts out. You should now have three pieces: barrel, forstock and stock with trigger mechanism in place.
Yes Iver Johnson did make 410 shot guns, I own 2 break open 410 shot guns both made by Iver Johnson.
Iver Johnson did not have a 410 gauge or bore in 1907. The 410 came along about 1920.
the register comes up with nothing as to that serial no. in a 410 as a match. sorry. this was looked under Iver Johnson arms,inc.

Numrich (Gun Parts Copr.) has some Iver Johnson parts.
Yes they did make them, around 1930. I own two Iver Johnson SS shotguns with raised ribs, a 410 & a 12ga.
The rough value of an Iver Johnson 410 shotgun serial number 001 is about $300. However, this will depend on the condition of the shotgun.
The Iver Johnson 410 shotgun with serial number 246b8 was likely made in the early 1950s, as Iver Johnson produced shotguns in that caliber during that period. For precise dating, you can refer to specific Iver Johnson production records or consult a collector's guide that details serial number ranges.
Max value today is 4-6 thousand, depending on condition the price can go down to next to nothing
The Iver Johnson Hercules grade hammerless shotgun in 410 gauge was made from 1924-1935 by Iver Johnson.With the serial number that you possess I would assume that it was made early on during production.
