Salt Flat Swindler Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Iver Johnson Safety Hammer in .32 S&W. Serial number equates to an 1895 manufacture date. Single post latch and 1895 date mean BP only. Lockup is not perfect. Slight wiggle when the hammer is down and the trigger back. I've shot it plenty but buyer assumes responsibility for safe shooting. $150 shipped. http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c344/tiltedsky/IverJohnson1stmodel.jpg http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c344/tiltedsky/Mobile%20Uploads/1385928084691_zps5a5bacee.jpg S&W 1st Model Hand Ejector, Model of 1896. 4 1/4" barrel, chambered in .32 S&W Long, chip missing out of bottom of grip, shim missing on one cylinder notch (photo 0223). Other than those two discrepancies it functions like a fine old watch. Comes with a factory letter showing a 1900 ship date to New York. $450 shipped. http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...y/DSC_0212.jpghttp://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...y/DSC_0215.jpghttp://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...y/DSC_0216.jpghttp://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...y/DSC_0217.jpghttp://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...y/DSC_0220.jpghttp://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...y/DSC_0223.jpg Edit: I haven't seen something like this on other guns but the cylinder notches on the S&W all have a small spacer in them to facilitate lockup. If you look at the top of the notch in photo 0223 you'll see a gap where the shim/spacer should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
