That's pretty neat. These do shoot. I didn't shoot this particular one, but I have shot cleaner examples. Kind of the "Saturday Night Special" of yesteryear. | ||||||

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: My father had several of these scattered all around the house, some were 32's and some were 38's. They now reside in a glass front cabinet in our living room on display. I have old ammo for both calibers but I wouldn't even think about shooting one today even though they appear to be in good mechanical condition with clean bores. Image below from TJ Parmele - Image Title: Iver Johnson .32 S&W Image Info: This one I picked up off of Gunbroker for $35.00. Shipping was almost as expensive as the gun. Top latch works great, the cylinder spins freely, and the barrel is rusty. Still, it's from the 1870s or 1880s and I like to keep it as a fine example of early concealed carry handguns. |
