Nice catch. You need to post this in the autos section though, you'll get better response.
The 32 is a hard to find one for sure. I imagine if you do a Google search for a break down diagram you'll find one.
Don't think that there are any repros of the boxes as the market would be very small.

Moosedog,
You would think so,I can't get much of anything from Google. That's why I'm trying here. I thought that someone here might have a 32 in the box ,that would give,sell,trade a copy of his. Regards...gc

I don't know what condition yours is in, but if it was mine, I would not be inclined to take it apart. No need to really.
Why would you? There are spray cleaners that you can use to flush out the old oils, etc. with out disassembly.
Seeing how there were less than 1,000 made almost 90 years ago, there's not going to be alot of info out there.
Supicas book has very little info on the 32 & 35 autos.
The next step, if you don't get enough information off this Forum, would be to join the Smith & Wesson Collectors Association. Your gun would be the centerpiece of any S&W auto collectors collection and that would be the place where you may find something.

It's in NRA excellent condition ,as soon as I figure how to download pics to this site,I will. In response to your question as to why would I open it up,I shoot everything I own (a gun that doesn't shoot is just a expensive hammer,ha-ha) so I break them down after every outing. Regards ...gc
