I'm getting on board here rather late. However, I, TOO, am a .32 fan. If the gun shoots, then it would be simple to have it bead blasted and either Industrial Hard Chrome or Electroless Nickel finish would make the piece attractive and would hold up forever!

Of course, before I had it refinished, I would make certain that all of the mechanical woes are corrected. Then have it refinished and "shoot the stink" out of it! That could end up being an absolute treasure at the range and in the field.

The .32's can make superb small game revolvers.
