I'm sorry to say. But with the information(lack of) you provide it is not easy to help you.

Your question is equivalent to. I have a car. It has four wheels. What car is it?

Welcome to the forums from the Wiregrass! Kurusu is correct. We need some pictures or much more description (see the sticky post on how to ID your gun). I can make a guess, though. It is likely either a .32 Hand ejector or a .32 Regulation Police from the 1920's.


This is a .32 HE. Note the butt shape.





This is a .32 Regulation Police. Notice the butt shape.

I dare say, it's S&W, it's a 32 cal., it has a serial #, the serial # is on the butt. Quite a bit more information than 4 tires! Pretty good for a first post I'd say

DeceasedEye, Welcomed to the Forum ! You description of a ?.32 plus the serial number could match at least two different models, however I think Wiregrassguy's post, with the two photos, is probably going to help match your revolver. Additional info., like finish ( blue, nickle, etc ?) , barrel length, type of sights ( target or service ?) Type of stocks ( wood, hard rubber, pearl, etc ?) will help us give you better answers. Ed

I'd say your standards are low.
