    I inherited an Iver Johnson Cadet .22 pistol Model 55-sa from my father-in-laws estate. It appears to be in very good cond. Does anyone out there know any approximate values? Anything will help. Thanks.

    I have a model 57A target. It has the same grips as the model 55. Can any one tell me the differance between the two.
    It has a small spur inside the trigger guard but behind the trigger, any clue as to what this is for. The screw holding the front sight fell out, any one tell me where i can get another or maybe what size it is. The gun is a straight shooter and is a great piece, would love to find out a little more about it, Any help would be greatly appreciated

    I just recently was given a Iver Johnson 12 gauge Shotgun. I was wondering what the Value would be for it. from what I can see it has very minor surface rust and minimal stock scratches. single shot break action. if I decide to keep it should i take it to a gunsmith to have it professionally cleaned and examined? thanks for any advice in advance.

    I am looking for some information on an Iver Johnson Arms & Cycle Works Champion .410

    There is a date stamped on the gun of 06/15/1915
    Also I believe the serial number is 80924C but I'm not sure.
    Gun is in good to fair condition.

    Can anyone tell me the value of this gun, also if that date is a manufacture date. Is this a gun I should restore to like new condition?

    I recently aquired an Iver Johnson .32 S&W and I do not have the a way to post pictures, but wish to know what I have. It has a three or four inch barrel, is blue, has black plastic grips with an owl head on them. The serial number is under the grip and I think the first character is an E, but its stamped on the edge of the frame. The other characters are 45055.

    According to W.E.Goforth's book on Iver Johnson firearms,no known first model .22 cal top break revolvers with the single post,side latch have been observed (pg.47) or exsist. Is this true?

    Make love, not war.Be prepared for both.

    A friend of mine has an Iver Johnson shotgun that he would like to know the date of manufacture. All that he has given me is that it is a Champion 12 guage with the serial #55398. Any information about this or a website that I could go to will be greatly appreciated.

    I acquired an iver johnson champion 410
    After extensive research on the serial number I am baffled.
    All i can find are a lettering system but my serial is all numbers.
    every single part on the gun has the same number stamped into it.
    The s/n is 70100 can anyone point me in the right direction to finding any info.


    (Everything else i found points to Mr. Goforth. My condolences to his friends and family)

    I have an old IJ break top revolver. Ser #47141. Any way to tell what DOM is?

    I. J. made a wide assortment of both solid frame and top break revolvers, and photos or at least type and markings are needed.

    Also, except for their earliest black powder models, the serial number under left grip should have a letter prefix to date it.

    The L prefix was used only on hammerless .32s made in 1904.

    Maybe it's a poorly stamped or misread I? Used on .38 hammer models made in 1903.
