Value of Iver Johnson Adams Express Kit? - The Firearms Forum

TheFinAddict · 08-16-2012, 01:22 AM

My father in law has an Iver Johnson .38 in a cigar box with Adams Express Co. artwork, 10 S&W rounds, a rail road spike, an Adams Express belt buckle and pin. Not sure if it was actual equipment for an express worker or some kind of promotional thing.

The gun is hammerless, top break, 5 shot, with the serial code on the inside left grip of D 10 7 90. Owl on the black grip is facing out, and it's got a nickle finish that's mostly there (maybe 80%?).

The kit might have some appeal. Do you have any idea of the rough value range? Thanks!

Welcome to the forum.

Large frame hammerless sn D10790 was made in 1910.

Is it and the other items just loose in the cigar box or fastened in place? Why not post a photo?
