This week’s gun of the week is is a antique Iver Johnson top break 5 shot revolver in .32 SW (short). It comes with the original Box (Box is flat and very fragile.) The gun is in great shape and shoots well. The action is tight but the ammo is somewhat hard to find right now. I bought the last box of .32 short at a local gun store. And I was able to find a box at the last gun show for $50. I was paying for antique ammo box.

I bought this gun at a local gun store for $125 this past summer. This seems to be the same model that was used by Leon Czolgosz to shoot President William McKinley with in 1901. The gun is in nicer shape then the pictures show. It also still shoots very well. I seem to have a fondness for these type of guns. I have three similar models in .32 short and a larger one in .38 short.

I just got this 'new to me' Iver Johnson Third Model revolver. This one is the hammer model in 38 S&W, made for smokeless powder cartridges. I have been looking for an Iver Johnson to complement my Harrington and Richardson top break for awhile but I had a lot of criteria to meet (blued, hammer model, third model for smokeless) so it took some time to find the right one. The Iver Johnson SuperShot revolver was modified in the mid-50's to include a smooth cylinder, and pear shaped barrel profile and became the Mdl. Approximately 100,000 Iver Johnson SuperShot revolvers were produced. Your serial number should have an L prefix and the number seems to place it's date of manufacture as 1936 (L13651 - L14900) HTH.

What is the age and value of a 32 caliber Iver Johnson serial 5235 with a 5 inch barrel? In only. one. case (.32 small frame.hammer. model) does the serial number need to be checked. Iver Johnson's most successful years in producing hundreds of thousands of inexpensive revolvers, shotguns, bicycles, etc. Were long before the federal requirements for consistent serial numbers (Gun Control Act of 1968) so serial numbers were for. The Iver Johnson Cattleman series of single action revolvers was manufactured between 1973 and 1978. Iver Johnson had the Uberti company build them in Italy and then imported them into the State.Click for more info.

The Iver Johnson Arms & Cycle Works (yes, makers of handguns and fine bicycles), was started back in 1871 by a 30-year old Norwegian born inventor of the same name. Truth be told, it started as the Johnson and Bye Company, but eventually Johnson bought out Bye and went at it alone. The Fitchburg, Massachusetts based factory concentrated more on its bicycles than its firearms and employed many Scandinavian immigrants.
Just before Iver died in 1895, his company began to produce a new revolver that the late engineer had perfected late in life known as the Safety Automatic.

Design of the Safety Automatic

The Iver Johnson Safety Automatic neither has a manual safety, nor is it automatic. It’s a revolver. Its a double-action top break revolver similar in layout to the Smith and Wesson hinge frames of the 1860s era. What made the Iver different from the Smiths was in the fact that it had an internal transfer bar safety. This safety consisted of a bar that rested between the hammer and the rear of the cartridge in the cylinder/chamber. The bar prevented the gun from discharging if dropped and only fell away when the trigger was depressed all the way.

Iver Johnson Ad explaining the safety hammer

Designed by fellow Scandinavian immigrant Andrew Fyrberg while at Iver Johnson and patented in 1896 under #566,393, this ‘Hammer the Hammer’ action was positively revolutionary for handguns. Up until then you risked an accidental discharge from a dropped revolver if the gun was carried with a hammer down on a loaded cylinder, which as you may imagine, was a real concern at the time.

Iver Johnson Serial Number History

These guns were sold in both a small frame version with a three to six inch barrel in 22LR (7-shot) or 32S&W (5-shot), and a large frame 38S&W version that came in barrel lengths as short as 2-inches. With so many options you could buy a small concealable revolver for discreet carry or hiding in a cash drawer, or a larger piece for home defense.

When introduced Safety Automatics retailed for $6, which in today’s money is about $150. A nice, safe, and (for the time) relatively powerful handgun with a fast reload for a price that almost anyone could afford made it a hit for the company. In short, they were the Kahr of the 1900s.

Iver Johnson 32 Serial Number 088050

Some 250,000 First Model Iver Johnson Safety Automatics were made from 1894-96, a significant and brief production life if there ever was one. These guns use a single top latch to hold the revolver together, a simple design which boasts four patent dates listed on the barrel with the last one being ’93. The first run of guns were all designed and built for low-pressure black powder cartridges. On the top of the barrel rib there is a serial number, which usually doesn’t begins with a letter code but sometimes does.

The Second Model was made 1897-1908 and these were (generally) black powder only. They are identified easily due to the fact that they have a double top latch, a patent date that ends in ’96, and serial numbers that start with letters A through F. Some 950,000 of these were produced. It was one of these; serial number 463344 bought for $4.50, that anarchist Leon Czolgosz shot President William McKinley with in 1901.

Iver Johnson Revolver

A ‘hammerless’ version with a distinctive humpbacked shrouded frame was also made in this version. These Second Model Hammerless variants have a manual safety on the trigger, which makes them easy to spot .

The Third Model used coil springs rather than the flat springs of the first two models. The serial number ranges don’t go lower than a ‘G’, and all of these guns were beefed up to take smokeless powder rounds. These guns and a corresponding hammerless were produced as late as the start of WWII.

The distinctive monogram on the grips gives these guns the nickname of ‘Owl Head’ revolvers. The owl looks at the barrel but it is under these grips that you can find a date letter code that can help identify when your revolver was made. Late Third Model guns are usually found with wooden grips rather than the plastic and, in addition, on the First and Second Model guns, the cylinder freewheels when at rest, while the Third Model does not.

Sometimes these guns were called “Bicycle Guns”. Either because of the safety hammer, they would not accidentally fire if you fell off your bicycle. Or because they were made by a company that also made bicycles.

I've seen prior posts on Shotgunworld re: Iver Johnson shotguns, but have not seen chart that would translate serial number to date of manufacture. I've inherited my Grandfathers shotgun- I am guessing circa ~1920s but looking for facts.
Serial number has NO LETTERS and is hand stamped on both the trigger guard and on the underside hinge plate of the barrel.
Serial numbers match: 37046

Ever since our resident Iver Johnson expert, Mr. Bill Goforth passed any information on Iver Johnson shotguns it is anyones guess. Here is mine:
If the gun has a serial number with no letter prefix, it was made between 1909 and 1919.
If the gun has a single letter prefix, it was made between 1920 and 1929.
If the gun has a two letter prefix it was made between 1930 and 1939.
If the gun has an all letter serial number i was made between 1940 and 1950.
also
If the word CHAMPION appears above all other markings.th gun was made before 1925 and the word appears below all other makings, the gun was made after 1925.
I have two dates for a serial number of 37046 depending on the model. Old Model Champion −1889 and New Model Champion-1918

Thank You kindly, Ned for your quick reply. And heres to the memory of Mr. Goforth- I can tell from past posts that he was a friend and a detail-oriented gentleman!
As for my 12 ga. shotgun, There are no markings of 'Champion' anywhere on the gun. From your guidance, merged with when Grandpa was shooting, I am guessing 1918. Grand Dad was born in 1886, and I'm told he bought the gun new.. so I don think the 3 year old was playing with guns. :-) Likely he purchased the 1918 model when he was 32.
As for the guns markings, Left side metal stamping only, all caps:
MANUFACTURED BY
IVER JOHNSON ARMS & CYCLE WORKS

The serial numbers have no letters, matched sets on trigger guard and barrel: 37046

Remember, the serial number only tells when the gun was MADE, and not when it SOLD!
There can be a significant difference in those dates.
