Iver Johnson did use the 'EXCEL' trade name for some hardware store guns. However, the guns are earlier than the more common Iver Johnson Champion model and Champion barrels will not fit the EXCEL marked frames. You will have to keep searching the internet, eBay, etc, and hope that somebody puts one out for sale. sales@countrygunsmith.net
Iver Johnson is most often associated with the HERCULES trade name. sales@countrygunsmith.net *If that statement marked on the gun actually says "barrel and lug forged in one piece" it is a Stevens. If it says "barrel and lug forged in one" (exactly the same except no "piece") it is by Iver Johnson Arms and Cycle Works.

nitro hunter shotgun single barrel with exposed hammer stamped belknap hdwre and mfg serial 5516
Iver johnson
A 410 gauge, single barrel shotgun with Volunteer stamped on it and Serial number A981277 was made by the Volunteer Arms Company. They made guns for Belknap Hardware store in Louisville, Kentucky.
No.... If the bolt hasn't been replaced, the serial number will be on the bolt. You can also find one on the barrel under the fore grip if it isn't apparent on the barrel where it mates to the receiver, and on the receiver its self. Remember that all weapons are required to have the serial number stamped on all removable parts (major parts)
i have one of those too and it has the noris stamped on the stock too, but i have no idea who made it.
$50-$125
Under $100.
Unable to answer as asked. Is it already a shotgun or will it be built from a virgin receiver?
