Here's the first shotgun I ever owned. It was my dad's pheasant gun for a few years before he went into the navy in 1943. In the early 1960's it got loaned to an older cousin by my dad until I turned 17 and then I got it. 16 ga. Iver Johnson Champion with full choke barrel purchased circa 1939 - 1940. Had it re-blued and the receiver re-case hardened 11 years after I got it. That was in 1978 and it still looks good today. Still gets occasional use, points great and 16 ga. doesn't beat you to death despite the gun being light. It's one of a small number of guns I call "heirloom guns" because they were passed down to me through the family.............
