 Markings on the grip make me think it is an Iver Johnson.

Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.

DANG!  Where did that come from!?!  I knew the guy made bicycles and shot guns (I've had an OLD Iver Johnson 12 ga).  Didn't know about his hand guns.

I'd guess it's a .32 as well.

We have a winner!  She reminded me of a couple of girls I dated before I married.  I was an ass but they were crazy.

Holy crap!!!



The only think I'd ever heard about the guy was he originally made bicycles in a small garage, then moved on to make "a few" different models of shotguns.  I can't believe I gave my 12ga. away because the flat metal trigger spring finally broke in it.  Cool looking gun, it had a unique bluing on the barrel.  Hard to describe, like thin worn, blue / black chrome, and case blued receiver.  Very well crafted gun.

Cool link, thanks!

They were considered a "cheap" gun , a "Saturday night special" so poor people could be safe too.
My Aunt had a Iver Johnson back in the 60's and I would say that the workmanship was as good or better than a modern Charter Arms, finish was definitely better.
