I have a 7 shot brake-over Iver Johnson' s arms & cycle works revolver. Does anyone know anything about it ? how much it is worth? or anything else.
It has pat.# NOV.17 1903 on it. Thanks for any info.

Welcome to the forum Beaverden, The IJ' s were made several years ago.They weren' t of the best quality. Top Break, there is not allot of value to them.I just looked in a couple year old Gun Traders Guide.I don' t even see them listed under Iver Johnson.If you decide you want to shoot it,I would highly recommend having a competient Gunsmith check it out before doing so.There are allot of them floating around but really have no collector value.I' m sure that' s not what you wanted to hear.

Thanks redhawk. That info. was good and really don' t care if it has money value or not. It has value to me because of where it came from. It will be a good display on my wall.

You' re welcome Beaverden,I can relate to other values besides monetary.Somethings mean allot to us and no value to others.Enjoy and treasure it.
