Ron, Tuna,
Thanks to both of you for responding.
Here is what I've learned from 2 other sources.
The Iver Johnson 5 shot ,32 cal, hammerless revolver pictured above was sold in 3 variations.
1st Model (1894-1896. Black powder gun.
2nd Model (1896-1907). Black powder gun.
3rd Model (1908-1941). Smokeless powder gun, My gun,--- which has 3 different letter prefexes.
The letter prefex found under the left grip are as follows.--(1909-1915, "A" prefex. ) (1915-1926, "G" prefex.) (1927-1941, "J" prefex.)
So, with this info, what's the problem. Well the problem is the letter prefex stamped on my gun does not resemble a "A" or a "G" or a "J".
If I got very drunk maybe I could imagine a "J", but it would take my imagination.
I don't think I'll ever know for sure.
