I have two old Iver-Johnson revolvers.
One looks like it's
IJ-6469,
and seen here selling for
$35 bucks (3rd one down).
It functions okay, opens, ejects, and trigger works. Have not fired ammo through it, but locks up well and would probably work (hammer hits, hard, rest isn't loose, etc)
The second I plan to keep is a small lemon squeezer, regular hammer five shot .32S&W that easily fits within the palm of one's hand. Would be an amusing back up revolver if I guess ever needed. I have a Kel-tec p32 on the way so it would just be for my amusement.
The gun (the first one) isn't worth much, is too big (it really isn't 'too big', but not worth a .32S&W in that size), and just blah, to actually use or think I would ever have a reason to use. The lemon squeezer is a little more unique and is in better condition, and might be fun just to have as a back up for for some one else if camping or what have you.
What should I do with the first one? Donate it to an Ar15.com member who might want it? Destroy it/give it to the police? I got these from my Grandmother whose sister's husband bought them way back when. Possibly the 40s or earlier.
Suggestions?
(and yes, when the government comes and takes all the guns away that have been 'registered' or you had your FFL process them, it'd be nice to still have 'something', but more realistically....)
Thanks.
