We recently discovered a S&W 2nd Model Hammerless 32 with a 3 1/2" barrel in the bottom of a box. Trying to estimate value on this gun. Finish is 98% and it is perfectly functional. There is one minor spot of pitting in the barrel about 1" from the cylinder. Cylindar ejector star is in great shape and shows very minor use marks on the cylinder from loading. Serial number is 494**. I've attached pics below. We're trying to get any information possible on this gun. Age? Date of manufacture? Value?
I'm also in the process of considering the "lettering" process via Roy Jinks.
