S&W 32 Long Revolver
I inherited this pistol, which appears to be a S&W 32 long. The serial number is 789XXX (has no letter at the beginning). The action is very crisp, there are some light marks on cylinder, but the machining is still in great shape. The pistol was stored in a leather holster, so it rusted along the top (some of the bluing was rusted over, my gunsmith has cleaned it up, but it deteriorated the blueing in certain spots, the worst being along the top above the cylinder). I would like help with understanding the following:
1) Date of manufacture
2) Any interesting background on the pistol
3) Approximate value
One question, should I have it re-blued?
Many thanks!
