Anyone no what model and what years they were made?
On the barrel its says 20 guage choke bore barrel and lug forged in one. On the receiver it says Iver Johnson's Arms & cycle works Fitchburg Mass USA

I think the Locking Bolt Spring is broken.

    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?

    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)

    Do you have one? If so, send it to him. Goforth is very well versed on these Iver Johnson guns and considered to be an expert. I know of no other person who has comparable knowledge.

    I would say this, if he says so, until I see one, (which I have not), I would take his word to be gospel. Therefore, I would believe what he has written as true! If he can be proved wrong, I'm sure he would be delighted......after all, such a gun would have been found!

    information to all concerned; since the publication of my first book in 1993 i have found a first model safety automatic revolver (single top post barrel latch)in .22 rimfire. i purchased one at a dallas texas gun show about six years ago. this new information is included in the revised edition of my book due for publication in early 2003 from blacksmith corp. the 22 rimfire safety automatic revolvers in any of the three models are the rarest.

    i appreciate all the good words people have said about my book but it was never intended to be the final word. i have learned so much since its publication. i want and seek information from anyone who has information on iver johnson's arms & cycle works firearms. if anyone thinks something in my book is wrong please let me know. i can be reach at bgoforth@ev1.net

    i have set up an information site to keep people informed on the publication date of my new book at http://users3.ev1.net/~goforth/

    Thank you for the info Mr. Goforth, your book is great. For some reason,I never read that particular paragragh on .22's before, and since I have a single post in .22 rimfire, after reading the passage,I wanted to let someone know, mainly you. Looking forward to your new book.
