A relative has come into possession of an Iver Johnson 32 Caliber, 5 shot, hammerless revolver.  It has been in the family since at least the 1950s.  It probably hasn't been fired since the 1960s. We'll take it to a gun shop but can anyone out there offer any insight or information about this revolver?                    Regards:                             Joe

Iver Johnson made several different models of their .32 hammerless from the 1880's to WWII (if I recall properly).   Most sell in the $50 to $125 range, although a pristine example may bring more.  Need full excrutiation details of ALL markings & EXACT location of markings to identify probable model & production date.

By the Way, does anyone know what became of the Iver Johnson gun manufacturing company?
