He can look in the library for "Standard Catalog of Firearms", "Price Guide for Antique and Modern Firearms", and all the other books on that shelf. An internet search may turn up something on Belknap Hardware. B. Goforth is working on a book about Iver Johnson Arms, but I don't think it will be published for a few years. There may be some information in "Shotgun Markings" by Joe Vorisek. I doubt if you can find any more information than I gave Robin.

I was curious about a gun by this same manufacturer. This one is a .45ACP, and made in the style of the Thompson .45 machine gun of the WWII era.

This is not the same manufacturer. Over the past century or two, several gun makers have used "Volunteer" in either their company name or product name. Your "Tommy Gun" is a modern weapon and you should be able to find information in any of the current firearms reference books: Gun Trader's Guide, The Blue Book of Gun Values, The Standard Catalog of Firearms, and others. Your local library should have at least one of these.
