Turns out it has a 2" barrel, not 4", and, as we suspected, a 3 screw frame.
Here are a couple photos I now have of this gun. The stocks are not original, obviously.
Is your value opinion still the same?

Completed guns in inventory and frames in progress during a change order like the Mod 34 stamping are common and would ship after the order date w/o being stamped.
Yes the 22/32 continued to be built on the new model of 1953 I frame until Oct 1960.
My opinion on the value would decrease somewhat since the stocks are not original although the condition seems very nice.
