American Handgunner, Nov-Dec, 2004 by Mike Cumpston The ornately figured hard rubber grip engraved with the characteristic Owl Head confirmed it an Iver Johnson Hammerless Safety revolver of the third type. The hinged barrel locked solidly into the frame and the cylinder displayed minimal side play and no end-shake. The bore and chambers were perfect. The gun had been fired very little, if at all. It had the good grace to bc chambered for the still-available .38 Smith and Wesson Cartridge--a pocket pistol standard since the late 1870s. COPYRIGHT 2004 Publishers' Development Corporation

Not in any reference I have seen
The Mark IV was not made in .32 caliber. It was in caliber .38-200 (the 38 S&W). Value is $200 and up, depending on condition. A SIMILAR revolver is made by IOF in India in caliber .32 S&W Long, and sells new (in India) for about $1,300 USD (no competing companies).
POSSIBLY a Spanish revolver (Largo indicates the .32 Long cartridge). These were made by the thousands by multiple, small gunmakers in Spain.
Usually a revolver, although a few rifles were made in that caliber.
No such weapon made by S&W
