Not a worthless gun, camber it for 32 H&R mag. Then you place your bet, shoot one then hand it to the guy on your left. Kind of like the Dear Hunter. Luck is a Lady tonight.![]()

It's a neat looking paper weight, that's what it is. Moth and Ginsue hit it on the nose. There were about 15 different manufacturers around the world (that had actual company names, and not the "really cheap" knock off's) that made top break pistols, and most of them sucked badly and were throw away guns. I have a Meriden 38 that is worth less than the time I put into it to make it work properly.

Those Iver Johnson grips might not be original to the gun. If it is an I.J. it will probably be stamped with the manufacturer's name on top of the barrel. Looks like a Forehand & Wadsworth to me. Iver Johnson made one of the better quality topbreak .32 revolvers, second to Harrington & Richardson. All of the other off brands (of which there were over a hundred) are usually considered junk or throwaways. Back in the 1950s they were disparagingly referred to as "Suicide Specials", which I suppose is probably the next notch down in quality from a Saturday Night Special.
