.32 S&W Long Police Revolvers

Here's one I picked up. It's unfired in the original box and was shipped Nonember, 1925 to W.H. Sample and Sons in Albany. I love it but it will not be tested!

OK that's confusing! It was shipped to Albany, New York, 36 Pearl Street.

I can't believe the knowledge here. So long ago, how did you know this?

My first .32 was an I-frame hand ejector from about the 20's that had its barrel cut down to make it a snubby. That piqued my interest in the caliber and I remember reading a thread here where a member warned us that .32's have a tendency to multiply. I should have heeded his warning as I have 7 or 8 now and have been collecting parts to make a custom k-frame .327!

Consider yourselves warned!

'Cause I'm old.

Actually, Junior's hometown of Cummins GA is about 180 miles from Albany GA. My main point is that although I ASSUMED that you were referring to Albany NY, there are other towns and cities with the same name.

And, in the South, there are quite a few very small towns, so saying "Oh, I live near there", can often mean anywhere from 1 mile to 50 miles.
