The value of an 1896 Iver Johnson 22 caliber 7 shot revolver is dependent upon a number of factors. The condition of the revolver would need to be taken highly into consideration when determining the value.
They can be made from spring stock by most gunsmiths. The original parts for these very old guns are about used up.
It depends on the make and model. Is it a double action or single action revolver?

Impossible to answer without a detailed description of all markings, caliber, finish, condition, box, accessories, etc..
If your revolver is an Iver Johnson Viking, it is a top break revolver. Holding the revolver in your right hand (finger OFF the trigger) use thumb and forefinger of left hand to grasp barrel latch (between back of cylinder and hammer) lift the latch, and revolver breaks open. If this does not work, take it to a gunsmith.
The company was called Iver Johnson's Arms and Cycle Works from 1891 to 1883. They made top break .32 S&W and .32 Specials from 1892 on. A great source of information on this firearm (and most other Iver Johnson Firearms) is the book by W.E. Goforth titled, "Iver-Johnson Arms & Cycle Works Firearms 1871-1993".

This is a .22 caliber, six shot, revolver. It is 'single-action', meaning that you have to cock the hammer back before each shot (the trigger only releases the hammer - a single action). Well made, accurate, perfect for target or varmint.
Needs to be examined by a gunsmith
There have been a number of "hammerless" revolvers made, ranging from the tiny Baby Hammerless .22, thru the Iver Johnson and US Revolver Hammerless topbreaks, and includinurrent day Smoth & Wesson revolvers. All DO have hammers that are internal to the handgun frame.
Not sure of your question- The US Revolver was a second brand of the Iver Johnson Company. It was a well made but inexpensive revolver. They were made in .22, .32 S&W, and .38 S&W calibers, in a hammer and hammerless version. Value will be based on condition and the exact model, but typically runs around $100-$125.
