You want to post them like this - using the IMG pointer:
If I were you, I would delete the posting with the photobucket link. You don't
want that link to be public.
I would say that the grips are not original to the gun -they don't seem to fit
right, and show far less wear than the gun. I would think the gun is about $250 to
$300, although, as always, some will think my estimate is too low. Happens all
the time !

They have been climbing in price the last few years and have been going on Gun Broker recently from $400 for a beaten up one to as high as $1500 for a pristene one.
Few people have ever had the pleasure of shooting a good one with the right handloads.
3.8grs of Universal with 115gr round nose really makes them shine.

hi thank you so much for the useful info. i did get a box of the high grain 32 20 i believe if any one ever shot this pistol with those shells they would not sell it that low. shoots straight and feels so good in your hand. i bought a bunch of other guns from a yard sale at the same time. i got a civil war double barrel boot pistol nickel plated. in very nice cond , a 1870 forehand&wadsworth 7 shot 22 side hammer pocket pistol, a 1853 era 5 shot small revorver that just has eureka #2 on the top i can't find out anything on it. a winchester 94 only had 10 shells in it from 1973 and an mk III enfield 303. it was a really nice yard sale. thank you for your help. guys .brett

Is that Norfolk, Virginia?
"i did get a box of the high grain 32 20"
The ammo companies used to make high speed .32-20s FOR RIFLES ONLY. If you are unsure of the type of ammo, don't shoot it in your revolver.
