Probably 1888, if it is a top-break. Worth $75 to $250, depending on condition.
The value of a IV FR Johnsons arms 32 caliber Fitchburg mass revolver is actually dependent upon a number of factors. Most important of these factors would be the condition of the revolver.
Age? Possibly about 1906. Values are not high, but will depend heavily on condition, and can run from $50 to $200 for a mint specimen.
yes, the company existed
Iver Johnsons can be hard to identify. Would need to know if it has the tip-up frame or a solid frame, what the patent dates are and where the patent dates are located. sales@countrygunsmith.net

Depends on where you are located. Somewhere between 4-8000.00 US dollars. Hard to find guns.
Yes, I have a 12 gauge choke bore barrel & lug forged in one by Iver Johnsons Arms & Cycle Works. Champion is clearly listed on the shotgun and it was manufactured in Fitchburg, MASS USA.
