Need help with year of manufacture british bulldog

[GaryED50]

Hi all

I have a Forehand & wadsworth british bulldog with the serial number 42349. its a 7 shot 32 cal I believe. Serial number on Cylinder is slanted not straight, I've been told can narrow it down.

thanks

Gary

Well, not expert enough to judge the slanted serial numbers ( first I've heard of it ) however Flayderman's Guide shows your serial number to be a third issue manufactured between 1881 to early 1887. the profile also shows that it is not a first issue.
