Iver Johnson 32 cal 5 shot hammerless what's it worth
 
I have a handed down IJ 32 cal 3" round barrel serial number G40846. Same number on the trigger guard but no letter. It has about 75% nickel in nice shape excellent rifling in bore. Single flat leaf hammer spring. trigger safety built in.

Can anyone tell me what its worth?
Thx

Probably in the neighborhood of $65-$75

Welcome to TFF, but something's wrong with your info:

The G serial number prefix was not used on .32 hammerless models.

There is no caliber indication on the gun - definitely a G before the number - is it a 38? the chamber looks smaller...to me.

Caliber was not marked on the old I.J.s.

If the chambers measure about 3/8" diameter, it's an antique .38 S&W caliber made in 1898.
