Looking for info on Iver Johnson's .38

[dingbat]

Trying to find out what I can about this revolver.

I believe it's a .38, used to belong to my great grand dad. Now belongs to my father. It has a five digit number on the bottom of the triger guard. 475XX

Obviously, it is missing the cylinder, and any related parts, if there are any. I'd like to track down a replacement if that's possible.

Thanks for any help.

I don't know where you are located, but if you take that into Blue Northern Trading in Ayer sometime Tuesday-Friday and ask for Ronny, he'll fill you in. He's knows more about Iver Johnson revolvers than probably anybody on the planet.

Thanks. Bringing the gun there may not be possible for me, but I'll call him or make the trip there.

It could be a 32 or 38 S&W.

It is most likely a .38 S&W.

It's the home of Bob Goforth, who literally wrote the book on IJ's

I'll check around in my IJ items. I have cylinders, hammers, and a lot of other parts from the old plant that was here in Fitchburg.
