In addition to the H&R I had posted ealier, I also got a .32 S&W 5 shot revolver from my grandfather. It is a top break model, nickel plate with black hard rubber handles with the S&W logo molded at the top. It has a 3 1/2" barrel and a front blade sight with a small rear "v" which is actually a part of the latch mechanism. Across the rib of the barrel, it says Smith and Wesson, Hartford, Mass, USA, and several patent dates are listed, the earliest being Jan. 24, 1865 and the latest being Jan. 3, 1882. The little gun locks tight, functions and fires perfectly, and is cosmetically near perfect, eccept for a small sliver missing from one of the grips.
I do not intend to sell the gun, but I am curious as to its value, as well as any history of the particular model that anyone may be aware of.
Thanks for your help.
