.22 LR. 6" barrel length. SN: 1672. Single-action top break revolver with eight shot cylinder and fixed sights. Re-blued metal finish overall with a fire blue tone to frame. Hammer is in the white with jeweling to sides. Grips are one piece walnut with checkering. Item shows standard factory markings including Iver Johnson logo to left barrel near hinge and "IVER JOHNSON'S ARMS & CYCLE WORKS/FITCHBURG, MASS. U.S.A." to left barrel midpoint. Barrel rib marked "I.J CHAMPION .22 TARGET/SINGLE ACTION FOR LONG RIFLE CTGS". Item lacks the "Hammer the Hammer" safety mechanism but features twin locking lugs for latch mechanism. Finish color to frame suggests item re-blued at some point. Comes with a grooved plastic trigger shoe. Condition: Fair to good. Bore is bright with some residue and dust. Overall blued metal finish shows weakening at edges and gray patina to grip strap. Some areas of oxidation to latch and residues on cylinder. Jeweling to hammer is weak. Grip panels are heavily worn with faint checkering remaining. Action indexes with a slight wiggle to lockup, but automatic ejector does not function properly and becomes stuck in the extended position indicating possible weak spring or further buildup in channel.
