This video provides a method for dating Smith & Wesson K-frame and N-frame revolvers based on the number of screws present on the frame. It details the historical removal of screws, correlating 5-screw models to pre-1955 production, 4-screw to 1955-1961, and 3-screw to post-1961. A key identification tip is to check for a screw hidden under the grips.
This video provides a book review of 'Iver Johnson: Arms & Cycle Works Firearms 1871-1993' by Bill Goforth. The reviewer highlights the book as a valuable resource for identifying and dating Iver Johnson revolvers, despite the company's historical reputation for inexpensive firearms. The book is noted for its data-oriented approach and fills a void in documented research on Iver Johnson firearms, particularly revolvers, with less focus on their long guns. The reviewer acknowledges the late author's dedication in compiling this extensive historical information.
