I have an Iver Johnson .38 (or .32), top break 5 shot revolver and the cylinder spins freely. Under the grip on left side is a serial number "T43966". On the trigger guard is 43966 (no prefix) behind the barrel (above the cylinder and under rear sight) is 43966 again no prefix. On top of the barrel reads
" Iver Johnson's Arms and Cycle Works
Fitchburg Mass. USA"

On the bottom of the grip is,
" Pat. June 16.96 Aug 25
Pats Pending"

If there is a number behind the 25, I cant read it. I cannot find any reference to an I J revolver with a serial number starting with "T". Can someone help. I just want to know for certain what year this was manufactured.

I know there is a book by W. E. Goforth but I am disabled and not able to get around to find it. Any help would be appreciated.
 
No shotgun, it does not. the cylinder spins freely and when the hammer is pulled it does not lock. a guy in another forum thinks it is a second model version 9. i still haven't found any reference online regarding serial numbers with a "T" prefix but this guys seems knowledgeable.
