I wound up with this nice little .32 HE in a trade, and although it's a wonderful little thing, it's just not my cup of tea. (Altogether now, collective groan...) Using the SCSW I was able to determine what it is and approx. when it was made, I do have a couple of questions. It is mechanically excellent, the finish appears to be original and has some minor wear/blemishes but still rates a strong 90%. I know, I know, people hate percentages, but until someone figures out a better system... serial # 275XXX with all matching and the "B" on the barrel flat. It is early enough that it does not have the small S&W trademark on the frame. Where I have questions is that the SCSW says that "Smith &Wesson" is stamped on the right side of the barrel, and ".32 Long CTG" on the left, but mine is the opposite. Is the catalog "mistaken" or is this yet another unmentioned variation? Second, what would you estimate approx. value at? I'm not looking to get top dollar, just a fair price. Sorry about picture quality, my phone is ancient.
