Gary,
I don't know how many were produced, but I believe S&W used up the left-over 1st Model barrels on the early serial numbered 2nd models. You can tell if it's a barrel from a First Model because the top rib is marked 'Model of 91'. The 2nd and 3rd Models didn't have this marking. I would think a numbers matching 2nd Model in .32 caliber would be worth a little more than your standard .22 caliber. I know .22 LR is the most common configuration, and you don't very often see them in .32 and see even fewer in .38 S&W in the First Models, so I would think a 2nd Model in .32 is kind of unique, especially with the matching numbers. Just curious as to how long the barrel is and what type of grips it has?
