1930 pistols ,, will probably have silver medallion stocks. And the patent stamps appear First,, ?1928 ? on hammer & trigger. The low serial number range of the 32-20 gets Very small ((I believe )) and MOVES very slowly after the hammer & trigger stamps ,, start to appear. Also by the 30’s the...

I did. Wow what a Nest of S&Ws !! Maybe 300 items I went for the Long Tubes 8 3/8” er’s. Had an item list of,, 11 and I only bought 1. And it has a six inch barrel. One lowly 32-20 Very Good condition Winchester sold at a Very Good Price, even for an “internet buyer” but it wasn’t Me. I...

A date for serial number 128xxx would be? Middle of the 20s ,, is my Guess. 1925-26? (more) help will arrive to your thread, We love the Winchesters. Personally I struggle with an O-sea-D disorder BECAUSE of them. She “should be wearing round top (beautiful) wood stockings! with diamonds...

Dyslexia haunts me.

Carambola Commonly called Starfruit Those look a little green,,,

The Triple-alpha BFPxxxx serial number. 1990

The K 613xxx serial number. 1965

The fonts are all over the map,, I’m adding a photo of a hammer stamping for comparison.

Khyber Pass ? another rabbit hole? omg I’ve never seen such a gun and i Thank you for sharing this one. It was mentioned as a Favorite model and I agree,, but this one is a Hell of a copy!! The cylinder photo (all of them) AND the pins ! And that “hammer pin strike” are awesome. A True...

A very happy ending. Finding that K.

Why ? Definitely “The COOL FACTOR” Do I ALSO see a Bit of Hand Checking on the Hammer?? More COOL . This one is full of 😎 The trigger???? Thanks for sharing

Tough Crowd this morning but I agree with DC something Fishy about this one. The barrel is cut for a Mushroom? I think. The Rod tip is “chewed on” The font the yoke fit,, serial number? AND the hammer patent marks ( 1926??) 27? Nice. Very interesting,, still Great pictures btw
