Iver Johnson was a bicycle company that also made guns. Cheap revolvers were their forte'. Saturday Night Specials. Skeeter Skelton oftentimes mentioned them as an example of such. When I was a kid, they made a Colt Single Action Army lookalike in 44 Magnum. Of course, the real SAA was not made in that caliber. I think I saw one once in a gunshow. The first re-issue Colt Blackpowder Series were actually not "made" in the Colt factory nor by Uberti in Italy. They were made by Iver Johnson in New York.

The above gun looks a lot like a Harrington and Richardson model 999. Very clean looking piece. Unfortunately IMO, priced easily double what it is worth. Probably unfixable.
