5 years ago I had a pistol given to me, however it was in a case that the person made. I don't know why they gave it to me, but I had it hanging on my wall ever since.
So i was sitting here today and was wondering what kind of gun it was since it looked pretty good I figured I might use it around in the woods.
Well I took it out of the wooden enclosure and was looking at it. I noticed on the top of the gone some very fine writing. I looked at it and found the following lines:
Iver Johnson's arms and cycle works Fitchburg Mass U.S.A
Pat'd APR 6 86 FEB 15 87 MAY 10 87 MAR 13 88 AUG 25 96. Pat's Pending.
So I did some research and found some info on it. It appears to be a 2 Gen. but I am not sure since it looks to be in great condition.
The serial number is in the following format: D42XXX
Can someone tell me around the time it was made?
Also I would like to know how much I can get out of it, Iam kinda hard on cash right now with the gas prices and such.
I will post some pics in a little while.
