Okay, my mom just inherited an old S&W revolver. I have no idea what the model is. It is a 5 shot .32 S&W revolver that was found in the nightstand. It has pearl handled grips. It has a grip safety, on the backstrap. It is double action only, at least I think so...it has no exposed hammer....NONE. The barrel appears to be about 3" long (guesstimate.) The latch is on the top of the barrel assembly, on top of and right behind the cylinder. (If y'all can't guess by now, I know next to nothing about revolvers...I like my autos.) The trigger has a distinct shape. It is almost a half circle, inside the trigger guard.
Distinguishing markings include....
On left side of barrel: 32 S. & W. CTG
On the top of barrel:
SMITH AND WESSON SPRINGFIELD MASS. U.S.A. PAT'D FEBY
20.77. DEC.18.77 MAY11.80. SEPT.11.83. OCT.2.83. TWO AUG.4.(8 or 9)5.
The serial numbers...from the bottom of grip, cylinder, and latch ALL MATCH. It is 1296**
I have not a clue as to what it is, or what it is worth. I am gonna take a closer inspection and clean it up... Get a general % estimate on condition. Thanks in advance.
Oh yeah... It was also loaded with 4 rds of WESTERN .32 S&W. The rds had a red sealant over the primers...and appeared to be copper jacketed lead round nose. If you know anything about the ammo, lemme know about that too. I have no idea if that is significant in any way or not.
Again, thanks in advance.
