I recently acquired an Iver Johnson revolver that I need some information on. The serial number is C73248 (under grip). Bottom of grip frame has the following: PAT AUG 25 96 (first line) Pats Pending (second line). It appears to be a large frame, third model, nickel plated, 5 shot 38 s&w with 5 inch barrel and one piece bottom screw target grips. The serial number under the grip matches the serial number on the bottom of the trigger guard, but does not match the number above the cylinder. Is this to be expected? Is it because the 5 inch barrel is non-standard? The revolver appears to be unfired and is in 99% condition. Can you tell me when it was manufactured and estimate its current value? Thanks in advance.

Number above cylinder is 21461.
