Don't know what you have, but you don't have that. It doesn't exist.

First, "single six" is a Ruger. Second, it only comes in 22 and 17 rimfire, and 32 H&R centerfire. Never was a 45. Not a big enough gun.

Iver Johnson made pocket pistols. Break-top, hinge-framed inexpensive double-action pocket revolvers in 22 rimfire and 32 and 38 centerfire.

They imported, and sold under their name, single action, 45 caliber revolvers (also 44 and 357). These were made by Uberti, in Italy, and sold as the Cattleman, and, if they had adjustable sights, the Buckhorn. They quit selling these in '84. If in average shape, they might be worth 150 to 200 dollars.
