S&W stopped production of the .32-20 revolvers in about 1929-1930. Sales after that came from the ones in stock. The .32-20 was listed in the catalog until about 1939-40.

I would nudge that down a bit from jimmyj's...........I'm thinking closer to $350-400. Niche market with only limited demand from folks, "in the know".

My guess is 1926-27.

I like the 5s but the shorter the barrel the higher the selling price. I always ask "What barrel length?" when appraisals are sought. Looks nice. I would guess (all we can do is guess) 4-5. Check for a bulged barrel. FMO common with this caliber.

It does look very nice compared to most of these that we see, and at least on my small screen I see nothing obvious to doubt it being all-original. Still, wouldn’t have gone over 500 if I were still in the market.

I bid on that gun up to $550 as I didn't feel it was worth more than that. Was surprised it sold for over $800. It's obviously a very clean example where most .32-20s look pretty beat up, and they certainly don't come up for auction often in this condition. There are a number of them on GB with BINs over $900 and in far worse shape.

It was only 2 guys bidding against each other at the end.
That added $250 to the price.

That is a pretty one...I'd only be interested if it were a target model at the price, of course I would not expect the target model to be that pretty. I also prefer them shorter unless equipped with adjustable sights.

I love 5" guns in all frames, but yeah, I would absolutely LOVE a Target.
I would have to reload for sure. The .32-20 I found locally was $33/50.

Here is a .32-20 Target with a 5" barrel. Of course, it is much older than the one under consideration here and not in as good condition. I bought this one in 2005, and it was already wearing the post-1910 stocks. It is a favorite.

"Maybe 90 percent"
On the other hand, maybe a whole lot better than that-----would that make a difference?
Oh yeah---quite a bit of difference actually.
There's this book. They call it Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson. It came out in 1996 as I recall---237 pages. The 4th edition came out what----two years ago---give or take---526 pages---seems to have caught on.
Anyhow, the folks that wrote it spend a lot of time talking about condition----and condition as it relates to value. The pages on condition are worth reading----and understanding---especially because condition impacts value probably more than anything else---except maybe rarity---or provenance that shows it was made for Abraham Lincoln---or anybody else that would get most folks' motor running.
At any rate, chit-chat about values ain't worth spit unless the condition is known----for sure and certain.
