That sounds like a .32 single-action which was similar to the Model1 1/2.

It was made from 1878 to 1881.
Total of 50,725 were made. The number on the butt is the serial number

Default .32 S&W

Thanks for identifing this hand gun. Since there were over 97,000 made and the serial #17000 is not that low, I was thinking it's probaly worth 200 or 300 tops. Im I no track?
