2nd gun Information needed
I will post pictures of some of my guns and I would like feedback from the experts here as to the model # or name & change, approximate year built, condition %, any ideas of rarity or desirability, approximate value range, and any other helpful comments.
Regards,
Rich King
I believe this one is a S&W (1903 3rd change ?) 32-20 Hand Ejector, 6” Nickel Ser. # 81700 (build 1911?)

Actually, the .32-20 revolvers were K-frame guns like your .38, but they had a number series all their own. This would be a .32-20 M&P (Model of 1905), fourth change, from about 1917. It looks to be in pretty nice shape. The proper stocks for this revolver would have gold medallions inset in the round tops of each panel; these stocks (which also look to be enviably well preserved) would have been found on a gun made about a decade earlier. If you take them off, you may find a faint pencil number written on the inside of one panel. That's the number of the gun on which they were originally installed.
Well preserved nickel guns from the aughts and 'teens are kind of hard to find. I'd think this one might be fairly valued around $600. It does not seem to be refinished. (But if it is refinished, it's value drops to about half that in the eyes of collectors; it might still bring more as a handsome shooter to someone who is not afflicted by "The Authenticities.")

Because I am new here and not sure what to do.
I have other guns that I would like to post here for information.
S&W 33-1
Colt 32-20
S&W K-22 (17)
Should I post them in this thread or somewhere else here or use a different forum?
Regards,
Rich King

The 33-1 should go in the 1961-1980 Forum.
The Model 17 could go in this forum, but if it is a 17-dash something, it should go in the 1961-1980 forum.
The Colt revolver should go in The Lounge. (And also on the Colt Forum; they are nice people over there, too, and they have an all-in-one revolver section, so you don't need to know when it was made.)
