Old Iver Johnson

[pappat]

I have a old Iver Johnson that was the side arm of one of Mundelein's IL. first police officers. It is a hamerless and has double top break latch. The owl is facing the front. It has two numbers: on the bottom of the tirgger gard 34415, under the left grip is 0 (that maybe a O) 34415. On the bottom of the grip fram is" AT JUNE 1895AUC25254. Any idea how old this is.

That serial # with an " O " prefix would date to 1905 assuming it is a 32 S&W caliber IJ hammerless top break.
