Many people turn their noses up at Lee Presses, but I have had good luck with the ones I've owned.  My first reloading press was a Lee turret (3 station) purchased back in the early 1980's to load .38 special/,357 Magnum.  I still use it to this day when I need to reload rifle ammo.  I currently also have a Lee Turret 4 station press that I use for my low volume runs, a Hornady Pro-jector for larger volume runs of large primer ammo (.44 Russian/Special/Magnum) & .45 ACP, and a Dillon 650 that I use for my small primer large volume runs (9mm and .40 S&W).

 

The Lee Turret Presses are a great, low investment entry into reloading and can serve even when you step up to a full progressive press.

I'll take one package of .38 Special brass (Three bags - approx. 1500pcs) for $85.00.

For a portable, field expedient reloading kit, the Lee Hand Press is a hard one to beat.

I happen to have a pair of grips that you can have for shipping 

That is a right fine offer, and I'd be a fool to not take it (and, other than what my wife says, I'm not normally a fool).

 

I'll take 'em.  PM to follow.

OK, in answer to the questions:

I read the serial number on the trigger guard as 26485.  It appears to be hand stamped as the figures and depths appear to be irregular.

 

The stamping on the grip frame look like J 26485, so the numbers agree, with the addition of the 'J'

 

The top rib is marked "Iver Johnson Arms & Cycle Works, Fitchburg, Mass, USA".  No other marks are in evidence.

 

It is a leaf spring gun, as seen on the first grip frame picture attached.

 

And yes, it is wearing Charter Arms grips, as included in the initial posting description ("...Other than the oddball Charter Arms grips...").  I'd like to find a set of correct grips, but at this point the CA grips are serviceable.

 

Hope this information is helpful.

I recently came into possession of an old pocket pistol and am looking for more information on it.

 

It's an Iver Johnson Arms & Cycle Works Hammerless top break, Five shot .38 S&W.  Other than the oddball Charter Arms grips, it's in decent enough shape, and it does function and fire.

 

Any help on age, information would be greatly appreciated.

My turn to give back to the project.

 

I've got a knife that I started building years ago before I ran out of interest (and ability).  

 

Free for the asking if you're willing to pay for shipping.

If you would be willing to ship it on my dime, I'd take the .40 and .45 brass.  Otherwise the drive to Texas from Northern Indiana is kinda a long haul.
