The 5-screw is 1949, and the order was for 10 4" K-32's. I would assume there were other orders for 4" K-32's, which would mean that there is more than 10 of these 5-screw early post-WW2 4" K-32's. The 4 screw is from 1954, and it seems like Jim Fisher has one of these from the same order. I recall him saying that the order was for 5 of these guns.

The pair from 1910 are serial-numbered in the 32-20 series, and they are a pair ordered by a shooter in St Louis. One of the two went to him, and the other went to another shooter in St Louis. The factory did make several special groups of these 32-20's chambered in 32 long. Typically the groups were about 10 guns. Jim Fisher has one from a group made in 1916, and I'm aware of one other one, made maybe 1915. One characteristic of all of these special chambering 32-20's is that they do not have any caliber roll marking.

There is another group of interesting post-WW2 K-32's. There was a reasonably sized order for K-32's with fixed sights, for I think the Shanghai Police. The guns are in 2", 4", and 5" barrels. I'm trying to find the picture of the three I have. Ray Brazille, RIP, told me that he once had a 6" gun, but I've never seen one. I'll post the picture when I find it.
