Good Afternoon All,
Just a few questions regarding a lemon squeezer 32 S&W. It is a late 1st edition(SN #:76,XXX)
1. Is it safe to shoot low power smokeless loads through it(85gr 640fps), or should I stick with BP loads(I absolutely do not want to damage it)
2. What is considered good condition for a gun this old? I can tell if was definitely not refinished(due to the blued trigger guard, trigger, and a bit on aged wear), but it still has a nice sheen of the nickel plating, but has some scratches on the cylinder, and some minor note of wear on the edges of the gun.
3. What is the relative worth of a gun in the above condition in this serial range?
4. I assume refinishing the gun would make it worth less, correct?
