I have an Iver Johnson's Arms & Cycle Works .32 S&W. This is a short barrled gun with a serial code G274 under the inside left gun grip. On the but of the gun is Pat Nov 17 08 Patent Pending. This is a five shot cylindar gun. I am wondering what information you could give me about this gun.
Thank You,
Wade Rodman
