Help me date this pistol

[Raoul]

Does anyone have a copy of The Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson?

I was recently going through some boxes of items from my grandparents that had been stored for 35 years and came across this S & W .32 long revolver.

I'd like to know when it was manufactured.

Thanks.

32 hand ejector if you can provide the serial number I might be able to help they were made from 1903 to 1942 you can xx out the last two numbers if you don feel comfortable giving the whole number

Thanks Randy L.

For everyone else the date range is 1910-1917.

I have one similar to that, except its a top brake, and lemon squeeze safety.

I bought at an estate auction some years ago.

Have you ever fired it?

[Sidinman]

Yea last year.

I called Smith with my serial number on my Grandfather's S&W Safety Hammerless in .32 short and they told me the manufacture date and the original dealer. They were very helpful.

First you need to set up a time to get together. Do you even think this pistol is interested in you? Don't be too eager. Just be yourself and have a good time.

Thanks. I wasn't sure anyone would get around to this advice.

I have one like it, buy nickel. It is a tack driver!

Set yourself up for that one.

I wonder about what is best--do you restore it or leave it alone? It would be awesome nice and blue again.

I don't think it was ever blued.

[Randy L]

They were either blued or nickel plated yours looks like it was blued at least from the picture.
