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?

    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.J. CADET MODEL 55S
    1955-1960
    The difference between the Model 55 and the Model 55S is only in the barrel length and grips. Grip panels are two piece small pocket size Tenite and the barrel length is 2 ? inches and finish is blue. Does not have Hammer the Hammer action. Caliber .22 rimfire with 8 rounds cylinder capacity, recessed chambers with Flash Control front rim (cylinder unfluted until 1958); Weight 24 ounces; Frame height 4 inches; Frame length 4 7/8 inches; Overall length 7 inches. DOES NOT HAVE HAMMER THE HAMMER ACTION
    I.J. CADET MODEL 55SA
    1961-1978
    The difference between this A series and the earlier series is the addition of a loading gate to the right side of the frame. All specifications are the same except a small weight gain because of the loading gate. 22 RF (8), 32 S&W Long (5), 38 S&W (5) and 38 special (5) after 1974. DOES NOT HAVE HAMMER THE HAMMER ACTION
    VALUE: 100%=$225 60%=$95

    those sound like the original grips for this model. but if unhappy with em the large one piece plastic grips from the longer barrel model 55/55A will fit this model.

    I have an Iver Johnson Cadet Model 55-SA that is a 38 caliber and it has the brown wood-like plastic grips.

    I have a question as to was this model made in a 22 and 38 caliber
    anybody give me an estimate on what my 38 would be worth?

    Okay, so if you don't mind can you tell me which one is the 55 and the 55S. I see you posted the differences but not specifying which one. I have a 55s and I am trying to date it, thanks!

    The late Bill Goforth, was a author and authority on Iver Johnsons. Unfortunately he passed away, a couple of years ago.

    Post some quality photos of your revolver. Showing all markings, even the numbers under the grips. One of our folks could probably identify and date it for you.
