Iver Johnson & Cycle Works 32 top break last patent date Dec 26, 93. NRA Excellent one chip out of grip pannel.

Iver Johnson Cycle Works 32 Break Top serial #189, Patent dates on the butt with mother of pearl grips NRA Excellent.

    I found a listing for a "Terror", made by Forehand and Wadsworth. Might have been made by others also though. The fanciful names on the early suicide and Saturday Nite specials, were apparently used by more than one manufacturer.

    The S & W's probably worth the most, of the lot. Hopefully in the $150/$350 range. Best to put them on the auction, at a low starting price, with excellent photos. To entice multiple bidders.

    The unusual thing about these guns is the condition; most of these cheap revolvers are in a well-worn state by now. They should average a couple hundred apiece, maybe a little more.
