Looks like the consensus is no official model number manufactured 1917-1942. I'll make the notes on my inventory and hopefully my heirs will appreciate it like I do. I'm 67. I choose the carry caliber according to how I'm dressed and how well it needs to be concealed (.380-.45). Otherwise I...

The collectible value of the ammunition did cross my mind, I’ll look into it. There was 49 rounds all in very good condition but no original packaging. I have no interest in shooting this gun just getting some information. I primarily shoot 45ACP, 9mm and 38 once now and then. It’s more...

That would explain what appears to be solder on the right side of the barrel. It is very smooth but does obscure most the stamping on the barrel.

There is a trademark stamp on the left side and no markings on the right. Barrel length measured from the front of the cylinder is 2.5 inches, from the front of the frame is 1 7/8 inches. The serial number under the barrel matches the butt sn. There is no appearance of the barrel being...

I have a S&W 32 Long I can't find a model number for. It belonged to my father and I believe it originally belonged to my grandmother. I cleaned it up and put it in the safe when he passed a few years ago and now I've gotten around to try and find some information on it. Information: SN 350645...

A normal sheetrock covered wall is considered concealment not cover. There may come a time when you will have to take advantage of that fact. There have been many urban fire fights through walls and floors.

Pictures are nice but putting one on here can be a PIA.

[/url][/IMG] Joe Cebul refinished my presentation box, got it back today. Could not be happier with his work, thank you very much.

The last couple afternoons it was 1100 45ACP coated 200gr SWC and 850 9mm coated 125gr RN. Under normal conditions I'll shoot 150-200 weekly but for now I'll follow the rules, stay home and reload. My Dillon 550 makes it easy, 12-15 minutes per 100. The only part I dislike is filling the...

It does, I have the USCCA Platinum also. Well worth the money. US Law Shield is cheaper but coverage is not even close.

Thank you for the link. With the exception of caliber that is exactly the gun I have. Proof marks date it very well which was primarily what I was looking for. I'm not interested in selling it but want to find a general value for my personal documentation.

You mentioned S&W product quality during the 70/80s, that was across the board during that time. Compare Harley Davidson/AMF then and now, no comparison.

I'm a retired Marine GySgt and DoD Air Traffic Controller and member of the Marine Corps League. I play golf sometimes and shoot bullseye with our league members. Glad to be here.

I was glad to find this thread and maybe someone can identify this gun. It looks like a S&W Model 10 M&P but is stamped Made in Spain on the right and 3 3s where you would expect a trademark. It has a 5 inch tapered barrel. I inherited this from my Dad. Here's some pictures. Thanks.

I do have the instruction/specs/parts sheet, an unused registration card and a holster brochure. Thanks for the welcome.
