There were 3 different models of the champion shotgun in 16 gauge that were produced.The Iver Johnson champion top snap model was made from 1905-1908.The champion model 36 was made from 1909-1922.The champion single barrel was made from 1923-1978.If your shotgun has a serial number and a prefix letter before the serial number,we should be able to identify the year of production.Please include this in your description to help better identify the year of production.
These guns, with two alpha digits at the end, indicate it was made between 1929 and 1939. Because it is an "XH," my guess is the late 30s.
1986
If it's the Iver Johnson M1 Carbine, they were manufactured from the mid 1960's through the mid 70's. Sorry I can't be more specific.
1958-1973
The Iver Johnson New Trailsman was made between 1985-1991.That is the best that I can do.The serial numbers per year of production are not available in the public domain.
Bill Goforth is the absolute authority on the Iver Johnson revolvers. He can be found on various gun forums such as antiqueguns.com . I rarely defer questions, but on H&R or Iver Johnson Bill has me beat hands down. sales@countrygunsmith.net

To determine the age of an Iver Johnson 16 gauge single shot shotgun with the serial number FBCU, you would need to refer to Iver Johnson's manufacturing records or a specific serial number dating guide. Iver Johnson produced firearms from the late 19th century until the 1970s, and the serial number can help pinpoint the year of manufacture. Typically, Iver Johnson firearms from this period can be estimated to be anywhere from 50 to over 100 years old, depending on the specific production date associated with that serial number.
