Your Iver Johnson double barrel shotgun can be dated by the words hammer forged.This places production from 1936-1941.these were well made mass produced field grade shotguns of high quality.
Remingtons are dated not by serial number but by a 2 or 3 LETTER code stamped on the barrel- left side, about a half inch from the receiver. The Remington Collectors Association website has the chart to interpret the letters.
To answer your question quickly,the answer is none.Parker Bros.began production of there shotguns in the year 1866.They continued production until 1934 when Remington took over production and then moved the plant to Ilion,New York in 1938.While you mave have a shotgun dated to 1840,this would not be a Parker Brothers shotgun.
If this is the model 215, the barrels are steel.
i have an old 12 gauge double from j Stevens a & t company and it is hand stamped 33 on the barrels receiver and the brace underneath barrels and we dated it back to 1880's
Riverside Arms is a brand name used by the J Stevens Arms Co. on many good quality double barrel shotguns. The value depends on model, gauge, and condition. The values can range from $100 to $1600. Seek professional appraisal from a gunsmith or advanced collector.
The 9S prefix to your serial number dated your browning sweet sixteen shotgun to 1959.As to the value you have 3 distinct values based on the barrel design that came with your shotgun.The values that I am going to list is based on your shotgun having a finish of from60%-90% original finish on the metal and wood,along with a good bore.first if your shotgun has a plain barrel then the value would be 425-725 dollars.If your shotgun has a solid matte barrel then the value is between 600-950 dollars.Last if your shotgun has a vent rib barrel then the value would be 675-1,050 dollars.
Remingtons are dated from a 2 or 3 LETTER code. Left side of barrel, very close to the frame of the gun.
Yes, it's worth something. These were among the best of the American made double barrel shotguns. Even beat-up and broken it could have significant value as parts. You need to take your question to a board where real experts hang out. I'd suggest the shotgun page at AntiqueGuns.com (see related link on the right). Be prepared to describe the gun completely. List any marks found on the barrel and action, including those only visible when the gun is broken down, any engraving or inlays and the amount of original finish remaining. Posting pictures will help, too.
