Well - indeed WW1 comes before WW2. But the question was a bit
different.

I was asking if the estimate of 90 pre-WW2 K-32's includes the ones
made before WW1. 90 is generally taken to be the ones made in the
1930's ; I was wondering if you had some new information.

Unless you have some recent information, that I would like to know,
the number made before WW1 is unknown. All that I am aware of is
the two different pre-WW1 serial number groups in which these guns
appear. One group is around 1910, the other around 1916.

Here are a couple of pictures of one from about 1910 :






There is also the model of 1896 K-frames, which are 32-long. I exclude
these, as they are, in my view, very different guns.

Its also not known if there are any other groups of these guns - unless
you have come into this information - between 1910 and 1916 . The
only way they come to light, it seems, is when someone letters one of
them.
