I have a Smith and Wesson 22/32 Kit Gun, blue, 4 inch, with bird's head target stocks (same as those seen on the Bekeart on page 117 of the Standard Catalog 3rd edition). I have no box. It is all original and a 99% gun, being near mint, in my view. I acquired it over 30 years ago from the grand daughter of a long time Smith collector from Washington State. He gave it to her, and I traded several more 'practical' shooters to her for it.
I would like to 'letter' the gun but don't know the procedure to do so. Candidly, my brief research has shown it is of considerable value and I am considering selling it to someone who would appreciate it more than I.
I have never fired it, trading for it due to it's age and condition. The serial number is 533xxx which makes it, I believe, roughly 1938 vintage.
I would appreciate any info members could provide on the procedure to obtain a letter on the gun. Thanks in advance.
