Gentleman,
I was at one of the Cabelas in Denver this weekend seeing some things that I have not seen in quite a while. Primers and Powder on the shelves! So I thought this may not be a wasted trip after all. So I went over and looked through the used pistol case and right on top I saw an old Iver Johnson Target Sealed 8. I hadn't seen one since I was a kid, and I kinda overlooked it at first. Then I had the guy pull it out of the case for me, and as soon as it was in my hands I had to have it. She was in good condition, a little wear on the bluing but the stocks were in very good shape and the lockwork was very tight and crisp. $120 and it was mine out the door!
Where do I find the age of the gun? I have looked all over the internet trying to find a serial number guide and maybe a little history behind them, but so far all I can seem to find is that they were made from 1932 til 1958. Is that right? Anyone have a little more insight on this thing?
