    there are no factory serial number records available for any post WWll iver johnsons but your revolver was introduced in the late 1955/56 era and remained in production through 1974. serial number J 30748 was manufactured about 1961 to 1974. i can narrow the date down a little more if i know where the markings are.
    1961-1971 marked on top strap with company name and model
    1971-1974 marked on the left side of frame with company name only

    iver johnson started out making a whole lot of these revolvers in 1957 but they proved to sell a lot slower than the fixed sighted version the model 55/55A. the J letter code was in use in 1961 and remained in use thru 1974. for now that about all i can tell you on dating these revolvers.

    I.J. TARGET MODEL 57
    1955-1960
    The difference between the Model 55 and the Model 57 are the sight. The Model 55 rear sight is fixed groove in the frame top strap while the Model 57 has a front sight adjustable for elevation and a rear sight adjustable for windage. Does nor have Hammer the Hammer action; Large solid frame; .22 rimfire caliber with 8 rounds cylinder capacity, cylinder is unfluted and has recessed chambers and Flash control front rim; Grips are oversize plastic with molded in thumb rest; Barrel length: 2 ? inches, 4 ? inches, 6 inches; Weight: 2 ? inch barrel27 ounces, 4 ? inch barrel 29 ounces, 6 inch barrel 30 ? ounces; Frame height 4 inches; Frame length 4 7/8 inches; Overall length: 2 ? inch barrel 7 ? inches, 4 ? inch barrel 9 ? inches, 6 inch barrel 10 _ inches.
    DOES NOT HAVE HAMMER THE HAMMER ACTION
    I.J. TARGET MODEL 57A
    1961-1978
    The difference between this A series and the earlier series is the addition of a loading gate to the right side of the frame. All specifications are the same except a small weight gain because of the loading gate. This model was also called Iver Johnson Sportsman Deluxe in the 1974 to 1978 era. DOES NOT HAVE HAMMER THE HAMMER ACTION
    VALUE: 100%=$235 60%=$105

    just thinging a picture of the box might help some but probalbly not much.
