Serial number question
I have a 32 L rp handejector 4" bbl square butt, square latch, ugly imitation ivory grips. [Franzite?] It has a number in the yoke that matches a number in the frame where the yoke rests. [83xxx] It has numbers on the cylinder and the butt that match. [63xxx] Which would be the serial #? Parts gun or late model assembly? The nickel finish seems uniform and seems to match.

The number on the yoke is an assembley number. The number on the grip and the cylinder (63xxx) is the serial number.

Is your gun marked MOD 31-1 on the frame when the yoke is open? You were given correct info about where the serial number is to be found, but does the number on the butt have an H prefix?
If there is no model marking and no H prefix, I think an extra X is needed, as the serial number would be a six-digit number.
Excuse me for even asking a question that goes against something you have already said, but if this gun is a .38 Regulation Police (a five-shooter), it could have a five-digit serial number without a letter prefix in the range you mentioned.

Pre model 30 32 Long, no model numbers. I think the cylinder number & butt are 6 digits now that you mention it.
