Iver Johnson .22LR revolver... worth $150?

[ijosef]

I've been wanting an inexpensive range plinker for a while now and saw this on my local armslist:

The only description the seller gives is "it a 22 it a bit old but fun to shoot and cheap."

I would appreciate any info on this gun. How old is it, and are they worth having? If so, is $150 an appropriate price?

If it is in shooting condition and has no issues they are a good buy for the money and are relativly sound and accurate, they are close clones of the H&R lines.

The only drawbacks are parts and finding some one to repair them if they go down, I have owned several of the H&R claones and had great servicet. Ivers are well know for there reliable reputation they might not be a S&W or Colt, but for 150 bucks I would buy one.

Treat it as a SAA and carry with the hammer on an empty cylinder. Not much can go wrong with them with normal usage.
