Looking for info

Take the left grip off and post a picture of the serial number that will be there. Might be the same as the one you posted and might have a letter prefix.

Thanks, that will give the experts a little more to go by.

@Shrek73 will likely be along to let you know what you want to know, about all I can tell you is it's a black powder proofed model. Smokeless rated frames had coil springs.

You have an Iver Johnson 2nd Model 6th Variation Safety Hammerless Automatic manufactured between 1906 and 1907. I can't tell what the prefix is, but the pattent date narrows it down to those two years. If its an O its 1906 or if it's a U its 1907. It wasn't uncommon for the serial number to be slightly off center.

As Grizzly pointed out it is chambered in .32 S&W and is considered a blackpowder frame and not safe for modern smokeless ammunition. Value is based off condition which is not very good. Maybe between $100-$150.

Ty guys for all the help i really appreciate it. Not bad for being found in the dirt by an old burned down house. 8) was rusted to the point nothing would move, took a night but all parts are moving again. Anyways Thanx again!

After quite possibly having been in a fire ... I wouldn't shoot it with any ammunition untill it has been checked by a "gunsmith" ...
Fires remove the temper of steel , leaving the parts soft and the cylinder my not hold up if fired . 32 S&W is still available and if someone doesn't know any better they might try and fire it ...just get it checked , for safety !
Still a neat find ... you did a good job in un-rusting it !

If the gun had been in a fire, the grips wouldn't be there.
