Without a photograph it is difficult to tell who made the gun but the number you give sounds like an Iver Johnson's. They were made by three makers, Crescent Fire Arms Company of Norwich,CT, Iver Johnson's Arms * Cycle Works of Fitchberg,MA and Crescent -Davis Arms Corporation also of Norwich,CT. Here is a post from a thread on an online forum and the link to said thread:Įxcel shotguns are/were 'Trade Brand Name' shotguns made for and sold by Montgomery Wards.
While I haven't gotten anything yet on the numbers, I did come across something interesting that I'm not sure if you know yet or not. Well, I'm not gonna be going out to the gun shop for a few days since it's the weekend now, and I gotta take some tests on Monday, but I did do a little online searching for you.
