c21yankee,
If it is,in fact,a "22/32 Heavy Frame Target" aka "Bekeart Model" the Serial Number will be on the Front Gripstrap not on the Butt of the Revolver. If it is on the Butt it is a Later Model 22 Hand-Ejector of some sort. We'll let you know as soon as you post the number.

c21yankee,
Also while you're looking see if there are any numbers stamped into the Butt of the Grip itself. If so,this may be one of the First 3000 of the 22/32 Heavy Frame Targets that were produced. Sorry,maybe I misled you in my previous post,but the Serial Number will be stamped into the exposed area of the Frame on the Frt. Grip Strap. I guess maybe I worded it wrong the first time. Let us know.

If you cant read the number on the grip frame try looking under the ejector rod on the barrel flat or on the face of the ejector star.
Congrats on the I frame .22/32
