Offered here is a very ordinary Iver Johnson single shot hammer shotgun. The gun has uncheckered stocks and case hardened receiver. What appears to be the original hard rubber buttplate. Attached to the gun is an incredibly cool and perhaps nearly unique attachment. Made by the Alofs Manufacturing Co. is a patented attachment to convert this very ordinary single shot hammer gun in to an auto-loader. The apparatus and magazine tube appear to be made of steel and are attached directly to the left side of the gun at the hinge. Very little is known about this device, however it converts the gun in to an auto-loader and seems to work seamlessly. CONDITION: Very good as field used showing marks and scratches throughout. Case colors around 50% as is barrel blue. Imagine a poor family in the 1930's using this gun to bring home meat! This is easily the coolest apparatus this writer has ever seen added to one of these single shot hammer guns - a fantastic conversation piece!
