I picked up an Iver Johnson 12g today (I know not very exiting) but this one seems to be a very early one. The First 5 inches or so of the barrel is octagon with a mat rib on that portion of the barrel, it has a schnable (spelling?) forend on it and it also has a pistol grip with a rubber type cap (I haven’t seen this on most I’ve come across) the serial number is 3900. I figure one of you guys would have a way to tell me the approximate date of manufacture based on that Serial number, thanks for any info
