My "New" Iver Johnson .38 S&W top break revolver from 1899

I just found one of these old guns in a shop, with most of the factory box. Had been fired with black powder cartridges and put away dirty many years ago, so the nickel plating is flaked off and I had to remove some rust, but it is tight and mechanically sound even has a fine, shiny bore. It is very old, and it's retired now, but I have put tie box back together and have is as a little display piece. It is shootable, although it would shoot loose, being designed for BP....
I really enjoy these old guys and I'm looking for a more modern- after 1912 or so- one to shoot.

This fairly cries out for handloading mild rounds! Another pic request here - sounds really nifty.
