142595 I need your expertise on identifying an Iver Johnson Breaktop Revolver. This particular pistol has a MANUAL shell extractor rather than an automatic like all of the others that I have seen. Here are the other particulars:
5-shot Revolver .38 S&W 4" barrel Blued
Double latch
"H" Serial number 96107 The "H" is only present on the bottom of the trigger guard. It is not present on the pistol grip frame.
No patent pending numbers on the rib. Only Iver Johnson name and Fitchburg, MA info.
Grips not original so no "owl"
Double Action
Free Wheeling cylinder when open

Can you help me with any information about this gun...date manufactured, general info., value?

Thanks,
David

I believe the manual action was the earlier one. I have no idea of date, though.

I'm really not sure what particular model year this one is. I know the earlier versions had a single latch. This has a double. Thanks for reply. Maybe someone out there knows about it or can look it up in Goforth. I don't have a copy.
