yup.... lets start the family bidding off at $200.... who'll give me $200... now $400 ... now $600... and if they bring more than a thousand from the family who's worse for the wear.............

These are the only two pics I have right now. I will work on getting some more but that may take a little while.

Here is the .32 Safety Hammerless carried over from another post. It letters as a factory 1 1/2" barrel. I have been told that somewhere around 20 1 1/2" Model Safety Hammerless 3rd models were produced and the vast majority of those were in .38 caliber. Possibly as few as 5 were made in .32...

twaits - Not wanting to steal the post for this fine and rare #3, I will start a new thread for the short barreled .32 Safety Hammerless.

When you take that sideplate off, be sure to use some good gunsmithing screwdrivers ! Don't further depreciate any condition issues by buggering up the screws.

Very nice find. And a very decent price.

A s/n prefix AAL should be 1982 DOM.

Some of my Model of 1891 display....

The first time I went elk hunting in Colorado back about '90 or '91, I was just sure that I needed a handgun for bear protection. The biggest one I owned at the time was a Model 19. I bought a couple of boxes of Winchester BLACK TALON 180 gr. loads for that purpose. I never got the opportunity...

Man, something like you describe is so uncommon (only 2 rounds in it's nearly 100 yr. life) it would be hard to value. With 2 barrels to boot. Maybe around $2500 ??? Maybe more ???

2 rounds since new ???
