ADAMS EXPRESS CO. Marked Iver Johnson REVOLVER C&R Complete with Original SHOULDER HOLSTER!
Description: ADAMS EXPRESS CO. Marked Iver Johnson REVOLVER C&R Complete with Original SHOULDER HOLSTER! Here we present an Adams Express Company Property Marked Iver Johnson Double Action Top Break Hammerless .38 S&W Revolver, made circa the early 20th Century in Fitchburg, Massachusetts. Iver Johnson & Martin Bye both cut their teeth with Ethan Allen, then started their own company in 1871. The company continued to operate until 1993. This revolver was designed to be small and concealable for self-defense. Adams Express Company was founded in 1854 and traces its roots to a 19th-century freight and cargo transport business. By the time the Civil War started in 1861, Adams had operations throughout the American South, operating as Southern Express, led by Henry B. Plant. The company served as paymaster for both the Union and Confederate sides. This revolver is chambered for 5 shots of .38 S&W with a 3-1/4 inch barrel. The grips are the trademarked owl hard rubber grips. The left side of the barrel is marked “PROPERTY OF/ADAMS EXPRESS CO./473”. The “473” corresponds to the last 3 digits of the serial number as seen on the trigger guard. The top of the barrel is marked “IVER JOHNSON ARMS & CYCLE WORKS/FITCHBURG, MASS. U.S.A.” This one comes in its original left-handed leather shoulder rig! The overall condition is very good plus. 40% of the original blue finish remains. The numbers match. The markings are clear. The trademarked hard rubber grips are in good shape, though there is a chip off the left panel. The bore is in great shape with sharp rifling. The action is excellent. The holster is in fine condition. Express company marked revolvers are quite rare, not to mention such shoulder holsters from the period. This revolver has both! This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic. Barrel is 3-1/4 inches. Caliber: .38 S&W Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING. Will need to be sent to your local FFL. This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic. Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $800 #190221 SOLD Curio/Relic: Yes |
