I'm about 99% sure the circular ring in the front on the trigger guard should identify it as an Iver Johnson. probably circa 1900

Hello All. I found this with Btoots in a 1900's to 1950's trash pit. Looks like a single load shot gun to me. Doubt if i will get any engraving off of it when we sandblast it.

Cannot imagine anyone throwing a gun out but someone did.

Any ideas on manufacturer vintage etc. are appreciated. Thanks for the view and Good Luck. C9

Hello jewelerguy. Dang! Great research. I think you got it. I thought the ring in the trigger guard might be a distinguishing feature. Nice ID!! Thanks for the reply. Good Luck out there. C9
