Model ID and Date help
Hi, I need help Identifying the specific model number and manufacture date for this gun. SN is 144xxx it appears to be all original as everywhere I look has the same SN i.e. cylinder, underside of barrel and even under the wooden handles. It does have the paten numbers on top of the barrel, Smith & Wesson on the left barrel and 32-20 CTG on the right. It also has the trade mark stamp on the left side of the frame. Its in kinda rough shape finish wise but feels smooth as glass mechanically. I do not plan to sell it as it was my grandfathers, I just want to know for my own curiosity, and maybe a value for insurance purposes.
I read somewhere not to shoot modern factory loads through it, Of course I want to shoot it, any thoughts?
Thanks
