About the Iver Johnson Wagonmaster: Manufactured by ERMA Werke of Dachau, West Germany, and imported for sale under the Iver Johnson name, the Wagonmaster brought classic Winchester-style lever-action handling to an affordable, German-engineered rimfire platform. ERMA produced similar lever guns for other American brands like Ithaca before eventually licensing the design, which lives on today in modernized form as the Henry lever-action .22 — making the Wagonmaster a genuine ancestor of one of today's most popular rimfire rifle lines.

This lighting can occasionally make minor blemishes — small scuffs, finish wear, or surface marks — appear more pronounced than they are in hand.
