chatigny has informed me that when he first started at iver johnson one of his jobs was to serial numbering champion single barrel shotguns (by hand stamping these letters). he stayed with H&R until his retirement in 2004. chatigny started at iver johnson in 1954 and worked there until 1961 when he moved to Harrington & Richardson. ray chatigny i now have the key to these letters. thanks to the help of a former employee of iver johnson mr. there have been several posts here and on other forums as to what these letters mean. Iver johnson single barrel serial numbersĭuring the 1940's and 1950's iver johnson used letters only in the serial numbers on their single barrel Champion shotguns. I have very expensive shotguns and its great to see american design and machining compete with ultra expensive modern guns. I want shooters.the gradual taper choked from chamber to end of barrel is great for hunting and shooting matches for standard un fixed guns. The only ones i stay away from the ones with embossed butt plates no owl oldest receive medals. I have many doubles and buy by condition and extras like solid rib, barrel length, chokes, ledger changes, wood condition, an owl head on the butt plate. Pictures would help condition would give value.a few here can give you the sites to get you close. I would think older than the 1940's i have had or may still have an xe's around.
