top break

Over a decade ago the late Jim Hauff had a thread here (and on nearly every other major firearms forum) collecting information on and answering questions about H&R Sportsman revolvers. I won't claim to be anywhere as knowledgeable as him or the also-late Bill Goforth but between Goforth's book...

Sorting thru some firearms for the widow of a friend and just can’t nail this one down. Looks like an IJ right? But what model/year? And no IJ marks on gun (other than grips)? Help would be appreciated. No markings on top strap. A 4 digit SN preceded by an A.

I have a .38S&W Lovell Iver Johnson .38S&W top break revolver. Antique firearm, in excellent shape, except for one catch..well rather latch... It is missing the button/latch to hold the topbreak shut. It appears to be a more elusive revolver than most other topbreaks. Parts seem...

I inherited an Iver Johnson 32 caliber top break. The only serial number I could find was on the left side under the grip. The serial number is A 906xx. The gun was last fired perhaps 35 years ago and worked fine at that time. I have noticed that the ejector doesn't work much of the time now. It...

THR, I just joined this forum today because I am in dire need of assistance. I am the proud owner of a 1897 Harrington & Richardson Premier 3rd Model 22LR. It is a 7 shot Top break with a 3?inch barrel and nickel finish. The problem is I bought it on my way out the door for deployment and I do...
