What is the age of a double barrel shotgun with external hammers and double triggers that on the left side of the receiver says Knox-All Iver Johnson Sporting Goods Co Boston Ma?

Answer 1

I collect Iver Johnson shotguns and would be interested in this if it's for sale. It was probably manufactured around 1910. Do not fire it as the barrel is not suitable for modern day smokeless powder. Many people have fired them succesfully with modern day ammo only to have them suddenly explode and crack after repeated firings. BE CAREFUL. I have one similar in 16ga. It was intended for a kids gun or a first gun. Don't dry fire it as the firing pins tend to break. Craig
