32 S&W too break with hammer - how old?
My father has an old S&W 32 too break. The gun has been around forever. As a lover of S&W revolvers he wants me to have the gun. I’d love to find a little info on it. Serial # is 72955. Can anyone help me with when this gun was made? I’d appreciate any info at all. I’m not familiar with the older revolvers. My collection consists of modern revolvers like the 629, 460V, and 500. We’re taking the gun to the range today to test fire it.

Thank you very much! That is very helpful! I didn’t realize how old this gun is! The pearl grips were aftermarket but he has the original factory grips as well.

S&W .32 DA, # 72955, was made Aug. 27, 1884. This model has a very delicate action, with small parts that can fail due to age, etc. and replacement parts are almost impossible to find, so I would advise to think twice before doing much firing. Ed.
