I know very little about this old S&W. I was told that it was carried by a sheriff in Lincoln County, AR, in the early 1900’s, but no way to prove that. Left side of the barrel says, “32 Winchester CTG.” The right side has patent dates beginning with “April 19, 80,” and ending with “Dec 17, 01.” It is a 5 screw, with a strain screw, and a 4” barrel. Ser # is 206XX. Any information about this old S&W would be appreciated!

The 32 Winchester Model 1905 No Change revolver was made from 1905 to 1906 with about 2,000 total made. Your revolver has a round butt, so many will call it a Model 1902.
This gun is a scarce variation. It has the new cylinder stop, with the new 5th frame screw in front of the trigger guard, but has the early 'old' trigger return mechanism.

Mike is referencing a rebound slide that was added at serial number 22427 and collectors call that configuration a 1st Change. The exact serial numbers for your model ran from 18125 to 22426.

You’re lucky to have a 32-20 in the serial number range. I’ve been looking got one for quite sometime now. Hopefully I’ll find a 32-20 target in that range. But there are probably than 100 targets available in that range.
