Iver Johnson Champion - Military Shotgun

[kslidea69]

Hi,

My Name is Kevin, a new member of the Savage forum. 

I have been corresponding with Garnett Stancil regarding a Savage military marked Model 220 shotgun that I have.

During this great corresponding back and forth, I was also inquiring with Garnett regarding a beautiful original Iver Johnson & Cycle Works single shot champion with military markings that I have as well, looking for information.  Everyone I have spoken to, most have never heard of it, but some have, but never seen one.

Garnett gave me his permission to put out an ask to this forum to see if anyone knows anything about this shotgun.  I have included some pictures.

I would greatly appreciate anyone's input or information regarding what I believe is WWII, on this shotgun.

Thank you very much Garnett for allowing me to post this and thank you everyone on the forum for taking a look.

Kind Regards,
Kevin

Kevin, Thanks for posting.  You are most welcome!  I hope someone can help with more information.  The “US” and “ordnance” bomb is very similar to the markings on the two Model 220 Savages that I feature in my book.  The walnut in the stock of your gun is a particularly good quality. Also, the design of the stock denotes quality.  I look forward to other readers responses.
