I also have a Iver Johnson, top break .32 caliber DA revolver; nickel plate; 5" long barrel; 5 round fluted cylinder is not free wheeling when at rest. Grip has ""IJ"" monogram with Owls Head facing grip. Patent dates: Aug 25'96 & Nov 17'08. SN: A86264
Does anyone know when this pistol was manufactured? I understand some early models used black powder rounds, so that the newer smokeless power ones can't be used. How would I know if I can use new ammo in this gun?
Any help is much appreciated.
