Another Iver Johnson thread - The Firearms Forum

My dad gave me an Iver Johnson model 1900 pistol he has had for years. he didnt know much about it( age or remember when or where he got it). I did some searching on the net about it and found this forum. i have some questions about this pistol. From what I've read it is either a .32 or .38 cal. He had some .32S&W, i tried putting it in the chamber, it fell right through the revolver. So i assume its .38...? Also, i am wondering the age. I removed the grips and the number is 1030 0, and it has the flat trigger spring. Any help would be appreciated.Thanks

Welcome to TFF.

Large frame .38 S&W caliber Model 1900 sn 10300 was made in 1900, the first year of production, for black powder ammo.
