You're not too likely to find an illustration of a Cherokee shotgun unless you can locate an old catalog for C. M. McClung Co, a firearms distributor in Knoxville, Tennessee. It was a trade name used on guns manufactured by Crescent Fire Arms, Iver Johnson Arms and Cycle Co, and W. H. Davenport Arms Co.
@ 1900 to 1930
You must identify the manufacturer, model, and possibly the serial number as a start. It may get more complicated after that.hartford firs arms co. 169715

No published sn data.
you can find that info at proofhouse.com
