This lot offers an Iver Johnson Safety Automatic, top break revolver, chambered for .32 caliber. The first model revolver originates from 1894 to 1895 and is distinguished by a single post latch system. The Iver Johnson "Safety Automatic" name came about due to the "hammer the hammer" action and the automatic ejection of cartridges when the revolver is broken. The revolver utilizes a nickel plate finish, 3" barrel, five shot cylinder, double-action, and original, black hard rubber owl grips. The revolver is marked on the top of the barrel, reading "Iver Johnson & Co. Fitchburg MASS. U.S.A. - PAT'D May 10. 87. Dec. 26. 93. Pat’s Pending". Overall, the revolver shows fair condition, with some apparent peeling nickel finish around the grips. Serial Number: 9644. This firearm qualifies as a Curio & Relic, and requires FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.
