I was talking to a older lady that lives next door to me and she told me that she had 2 gun's that in her words needed to go away. The first one was a model 34-1 that she gave to her grandson and the other went to me.
What I have is a .32 hand ejector aka pre model 30. 3 1/2" barrel, blued, flat latch and it serial numbers in all the right places. I think it dates to around 1956(630028) but I will have to ask Mr Jinks about that. There are 4 screws on the side plate but doesn't have one on the trigger guard. This is the first s&w revolver I have seen like this. It is in great shape and i hope to find a correct box for her. Enjoy
