Hi! I have just purchased my first smith & wesson! It is an older 32. can anyone help me determine when this gun was made. This is what markings and serial number is on the pistol. 32 Long CTG serial # is 326XXX, this # is found on the cylinder, the bottom of the barrel, and when you remove the grips it is on the frame as well. On the top of the barrel are these patent dates; Feb. 8, 1908, Sept. 14, 1909, & Dec. 29, 1914.....It has a pinned barrel, S&W trademark just in front of grip on the left side. The right side cover has four screws, and plus one that holds the two piece handle. When I fold out the cylinder it is stamped in two places the number 43598. Perfect size revolver for a woman. If anyone could give me a time frame as to when this gun was made I would surely appreciate it. Or any other info about it. Not concerned about the value, I love the gun! Not wanting to sell, just get some info. Thanks
