I realize this is not actually a S&W revolver (it only fires a S&W cartridge). However, I saw in a different post that folks here were able to help someone else out. I inherited this from my Father in Law. Besides his WWII sidearm he also collected a few unusual handguns along the way. Can you please help me identify this one? It is a Herrington and Richardson .32 but strangely only holds 5 rounds and has no patents listed on it. All the listings I can find do not include this model. Help please!

Look here: Help Interpreting H&R Serial Number | The Firearms Forum

It is one of the older H&R top break revolvers, the small frame 32's were 5 shot, they also made a large frame version that was a 6 shot in 32 (or 5 shot in 38 caliber). Since the caliber designation is centered on the barrel, indicating it was made as a short barreled model, it is a less common version. Often called a "Bicycle Model" by collectors. The presence of a caliber stamp indicates production in 1908 or later as records show that was when H&R first started stamping the caliber on their revolvers.

Thank you. I am trying to figure out how to reference it since I will likely sell this one and keep others from Dad’s collection.

If you decide to sell it, please offer it here on the forum.
I think the bicycle guns look cool.
