My father gave me a 32-20 revolver with the following information etched on the top of the barrel: "Smith & Wesson, Springfield Mass. U.S.A. Pat'd Mar. 27, 94, May 21, 95, Aug. 4, 96, Dec. 22, 96, Oct. 8, 01, Dec. 17, 01, Feb. 6, 06. One side of the pistol has "32 winchester ctg" etched in it. The serial number on the butt is 44697. It is a very clean gun and I know that my Dad shot it recently, but I am curious to know a couple things: (1) any information (or direct me to the info) you have on this particular model? Should I shoot it? what is its value, if any? I have no intention of selling it, but am just curious.
