Iver Johnson Safety Automatic

[the Bucket]

My buddy picked up this old Iver Johnson. Serial number N11056.

I have heard conflicting information. It has a leaf spring under the grips. It has two post lock up. Amd not trigger "dingus" safety. Two line barrel, and 3 line patent date on the butt.

Any help on the date? Is this a second model or third model?

Second model with the leaf spring, third has coil. 1897-1908 run

Have one like it myself.

Thank you. All the sites seem to say all 2nd models should have a trigger safety.

Any help on the date. Most sites seem to say prefix A-G are 2nd models. Mine for sure has a "N"
