Google Bill Goforth. He's written books on Ivers. I have a bunch of them and he's always answered my emailed questions. Seems like a nice guy. He's the IJ expert.

This link might be helpful for finding the age of that IJ: http://www.empirearms.com/pre-1899.htm

Keep in mind the grips can be replaced so they are not useful in finding the age of an IJ or any other old gun for that matter...
