This is an Iver Johnson American Bulldog revolver in .44 Bulldog . It uses a metallic black powder cartridge . This is a second series pistol , it has the rounded back strap . The first series had a saw handle style back strap. The second series was made between 1887 - 1899, with about 100,000 made per year . There is no year to date serial numbers , they started each year at zero . My serial number is 7xxx , so possibly made in January of one of those years . My grandfather bought & used this pistol , then given to my father , then to me
