Default K-32 long tube?

OK you guys have shown with some great photos the K-32 combat masterpiece. Did they ever make a K-32 with and 8 3/8 barrel? Or possibly one of the very early guns with a barrel longer than 6"? Thanks

I know at least one member on this forum has one. If you scan past posts on K-32 it may still be in the files.
It is an 8 3/8th original K-32. There may be more, one never knows.

What makes it difficult is to try to search for K-32 post or threads, we do not have a tag for it. I wish the google search had a date setting, I would like to change it from the random postings to more recent first.

I seem to remember last year there was a picture posted of one with a very nice fitted case. I saved a picture of it but it is not mine to post. Nice revolver though.

Yup, it's one of mine. The gun was the central feature of my K-32display in Orlando last week. I've got an old album of pics up on the forum somewhere showing my K-32's, but here's a link to the 8 3/8".

The gun is an early 5 screw presented to the then secretary of the NRA and engraved at the factory with his name. He later returned it to S&W and had the 8 inch barrel fitted.

I hope you enjoy it.

K-103986 has an 8 3/8 inch barrrel that was done in 1950, I think I have a photo of it and the original owner but don't remember who the original owner was.

I'll look for it later this week and if I find it I'll post more Info on it.

Sorry guys,
I cant seem to find the photos of the gun and the original owner of it back in 1950. I think it may have been on my old computer. I'll check again in a week or so.

However I was able to put a name to K-32 #
K-103986 that has the long barrel, does the name Frank Wyman sound familiar to anyone ?.

Sorry hsguy,
I did not see that post as it was back in 2009, I joined the forun in 2010. merlindrb did not say by name who the owner was in this thread, only that it belonged to the secretary of the NRA.

Thanks for the link to the old post, it was very interesting.
Regards
