Hey guys, question for the historians.

I've been reading a bit about the old Cooey shotguns, and discovered that Cooey apparently made some double barrels for Iver Jonson back in the 1920s and 30s, but did they ever produce them and sell them as their own? Are they still around today? If I came across one how much could I expect to pay?

I like cooeys, and anything that is Canadian made, so far I've got a Model 60,
a 64B, and an 84 20g that's in the mail any day now, just wondering what els I could expect to add to my collection in the years to come.R:d:
 
They never sold a SXS under there own nmame and I question the info that they made one and marketed under another name cooey has not been around since about 1968 and winchester cooey since about 1978.
 
CIL sold a Stevens 311 type side by side.
I believe that CIL marketed the Iver Johnson. I held one once and other than that it was a nice 20 guage Iver Johnson and that it had Montreal on it I am not certain what the importer name was.

Yes the guns were assembled and finished but marked "Made in Coburg." According to John A. Belton's book "Cooey Firearms Made in Canada 1919-1979" the guns were meant for the "Canadian and British Empire trade" and because they were finished in Canada avoided customs duties.
