Iver Johnson
Iver Johnson was a U.S. firearms, bicycle, and motorcycle manufacturer from 1871 to 1993. The company shared the same name as its founder, Norwegian-born Iver Johnson (1841-1895). After closing, the name was resold and in 2006 Iver Johnson Arms opened in Rockledge, Florida selling shotguns and M1911 pistols. However, the new Iver Johnson company does not have any parts, guns or information relating to the pre-1993 company.〔(Iver Johnson Arms ) accessed 1 April 2013〕

Iver Johnson was born in Nordfjord in the year 1841,〔Massachusetts deaths, 1841-1915, Familysearch, https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/NW7D-6LF〕 in Nordfjord, Sogn og Fjordane county, Norway 〔National Archives and Records Administration, 1872 October 30.''Index to New England Naturalization Petitions, 1791-1906'', serial M1299, roll 79.〕 and later emigrated from Norway to the United States. He was educated as a gunsmith in Bergen in 1857 and had a gun store in Oslo. He married Mary Elizabeth Speirs (born January 1847 〔National Archives and Records Administration, 1870, August 18.

Iver Johnson immigrated to Worcester, Massachusetts from Norway in 1863 at the height of the American Civil War. Johnson was a gunsmith by trade at the time, but also worked as an inventor in his spare time, which would come in handy later on as he sought new and creative uses for his partially idle manufacturing equipment, a thought process which would eventually lead him and his heirs to diversify the corporation's businesses. His early work involved not only gunsmithing locally in Worcester, MA, but it also included providing designs and work to other firearms companies, notably Allen & Wheelock for whom he made so-called "pepperbox" pistols.〔''The Story of Allen & Wheelock Firearms'' (H. H. Thomas, author. Pioneer Press, Incorporated. 1991)〕
