Iver Johnson Champion 20 Guage Shotgun

I received one of these as a gift, per-request, as a fix-me-up project. I know Iver made the Champion between 1909 and 1956 but heard somewhere that they only made the 20 guage during the 20's, 30's, and 40's. Can anyone confirm that? I've refinished the stock with tru-oil and reblued the whole gun. It was pretty darn rusty but it cleaned up well. The locking bolt spring had to be replaced but that was the only thing wrong with it (other than it looking really old, but I like that). Can anyone tell me their experiences with this shotgun? Have you hunted with it etc.? Thanks!
