Default Gun Show Find

Found this at the gun show today. Iver Johnson second model, eighth variation, 38 S&W, made 1904. It needed a good cleaning but mechanics are great. Not bad for $55 plus holster. I find top breaks uniquely appealing.

Nice. However, did you pay $55 and a holster for the revolver?

OR, did you pay $55 for the revolver and a holster?

Just asking........

Sweet deal. I've always liked the top-break revolvers, and that looks like a nice one.

You really did fine. Those old break opens are becoming more collectable. I still have a couple somewhere in the shop.
