Hand ejector 32 long 1906/1909

[nachowild]

Hi, i got this from my grand grand mother. I am from Argentina and she lived here also. I want to know exactly the year of manufacturing (was between 1906 and 1909. Serial number 669xx

Thank you all for the great web site! Is completely original, never was repaired. And slightly used as she was carrying it on her handbag. Loved my granny.

It would be very important for tje history of migration of my family whether this revolver was exported to Argentina or to Europe, will help to understand if was owned by .y grand grand dad (born 1909 Barcelona, Spain) or any related in Argentina around 1900s.

Thanks again

I will add my welcome to the most friendly forum of the gun world. You will get lots of info form some of the most knowledgeable folks anywhere by asking here.
A factory invoice can tell you where it was initially shipped. This will likely be to a distributor or large gun store. You can also purchase what's known as a "Factory Letter" that gives additional info about that specific model and usually tells exactly what features it had when it left the factory. I believe there are instructions for these transactions in the "Stickies" above, but as some of our more knowledgeable members chime in with more thorough details about what is known collectively, you will probably get most of what you wish to know.
If I had to guess, I'd say it was probably shipped to Argentina and purchased there. At the time you mention, the Argentine economy was booming, in fact "rich as an Argentine" was a common phrase. If it were purchased in Barcelona, i would suggest it would have been more likely to have been one of the many copies being made by Spanish gunmakers.
Once again, welcome to the S&W Forum. Enjoy yourself here.
