No, and you shouldn't even use. 38 Special ammo in it, either. If it was made in the 1800s, it was probably chambered in .38 Long Colt, and that is the only ammo which is compatible with that revolver.

What is the value of a 38 5 shot Iver Johnson cadet 55-5A serial no G20140?

Last week I purchased a used Iver Johnson Cadet in .38 S&W not the .38 Special the gun was in very good condition with a holster and 50 rds of ammo included with the purchase . I paid $125 ! Which I feel was a very fair price ! Iver Johnson and the Harrington & Richardson revolvers in good to excellent condition are going up in value , unfortunately .32 S&W and .38 S&W ammo is on the pricey side , but are still great self-defence calibers . If your .38 is in good condition without a holster I would say it is worth $110-$140 !
