Answer
Hello Stan. Your revolver was manufactured by Iver Johnson in approximately. 1906. It fires a 32 S&W cartridge. This is the standard .32S&W and not the .32 S&W Long. Yes, you can still get ammo for it. I just finished checking 15 web sites and they all had it in stock. Average price $26.00 box of 50. Just google search for .32 S&W ammo for sale and take your pick. This gun was manufactured after the advent of smokeless powder, so it should be able to fire these fine. I prefer the 88 grain lead roundnose cartridges in my gun. GUNSMITH ALERT!!! Before you attempt to fire it, however, take it to a fully competent and trained gunsmith. He will be in a better position to judge the safe use of it. I hope this answers your questions and thank you for asking for me. Charles Gage
