Iver Johnson Shotgun

Hello all,

I just bought an Iver Johnson shotgun at an auction, but can't seem to find out much about it when I do a google search. It is a Champion model 12ga single shot. Anyone know about how much this gun is worth? TIA

Hopefully what you paid for it?

I've never heard of an Iver Johnson firearm that had any collector value, I'd guess a single shot shotgun is worth $85.

Luckily I got it for about $37. Thought it might have some collector value because I thought I read that they stopped making shotguns in 1946. That would make it a pretty old piece. Most of the bluing is gone, it is so old. Thought about trading it at a gun show. Hey, if I can get $80 - $85 bucks out of it, I'd be happy (and a new Ruger 10/22 stainless would be sitting in my gun safe; I'll pay cash for the difference). Thanks for the info~

If it has no bluing, it probably isn't worth very much.
