32 value
i picked up a 3" 32 hand ejector flat latch pre model 30 5screw I frame ramped front sight in very good condition, in what appears to be a nice period wool lined leather flap holster
the guns wood is 98+% the cylinder and mussel show evidence of holster wear on the muzzle and cylinder flutes, but cylinder face and forceing cone are flawless showing no signs of being fired
I paid $350.00 without hesitating
did I pay to much?

No. I see them tagged for a least $100 more at shows and gun shops.

Great little gun. All the I Frame 32's and the later J Frame 32's are fun to shoot and surprisingly accurate.

You made a huge mistake. .32's are so addictive that your one good deal there is going to cost you thousands of dollars, LOL! Low recoil, fine accuracy, cheap to reload, easy to carry. You may even find yourself buying the occasional <$125.00 H&R or IJ revolver. Of course, this causes one to look at the .32 a.c.p. handguns as well.
Currently I have seven .32 handguns, all of them put a smile on my face.

I would join in saying that you did well on that one. From a collectors' standpoint, you did exceptionally well if it is a true I-frame (flat spring) as shown by a screw at the bottom of the front of the grip frame. I paid $325 for the same gun (but coil spring) at auction two years ago and felt I got a very good deal, so regardless of variation, I would still say you did well.
