S&W .32 Long ctg Revolver
I randomly bought a .32 Long Hand Ejector Revolver a few days ago; I bought it for the pearl grips but after looking around a little bit I fell in love with this revolver, but I'm really wanting to know when it was made, if anybody could help me.
The butt of the gun has the numbers 85**, and so does another spot, although that has a "B" with it. If I open the cylinder I can see the numbers 117** twice, once with a "B" again.
From my own research, I'm PRETTY sure it was made around 1903, but I want to know for SURE and also which Model it was.
The patented numbers show April 9, 89; March 94; May 21, 95; Aug 4, 1896; Dec 22, 1896; etc... continuing until Sept 2, 1902; which is the last one.
Thank you for any help!!
