Welcome to the forum. You have a great little gun there, according to SCSW it dates to 1983.

Excellent condition with original box and papers, I would say it might be a $400-450 gun, just my opinion. The best way to determine the price is to search the online auction sites. I'm sure you can probably find them listed for sale anywhere from $400 to $700, but remember it's what they actually sell for that matters.

Yep, you got a very good deal. I have several revolvers chambered for .32 S&W long, it's a fun round to shoot. On the local level, factory ammo is scarce and pretty expensive when you do find it. However, you can find a good selection online at places like Ammo to Go and Cheaper Than Dirt. Of course, it's a great caliber to reload also.

Excellent range gun a true shooter, i enjoy mine and refuse to part with it, but if you don't reload your own ammo it can get expensive. Enjoy and stay safe
