Question how old is my gun?

32 cal top break hammer exposed 5 shot serial # 267202
I received the gun from my step-grandfather over 40 years ago and I would like to know how old it is. I fired it about 5 years ago and it was accurate. I have no intention of selling it so value is not important to me. Thanks in advance for any info provided.

Sounds like you have a .32 Double Action revolver - if so, the serial number puts it around 1905 give or take a couple of years. More than likely, the experts will be along to give you a more precise date.
Glad to hear that you have enjoyed shooting it.

Welcome to the forum. Stick around, this is a great place to learn, and sometimes laugh.

It sounds as if you have treasured heirloom. I'm glad you mean to keep it, and I hope you'll shoot it from time to time.

Most close serial numbers were shipped in 1906 & 07. Ed
