That looks to be a .32 Double Action 4th Model, from around 1900. Chambers 32 Smith & Wesson cartridges. That is the short cartridge not the 32 Smith & Wesson long.

thanks. where can i purchase the ammo for it?
 
Try a big box Sporting Goods store like Academy Sports, Cabela's , Gander Mountain. If you don't have one of those near you, you may have to order it off the internet.

Guy

any brand/ powder grain you recommend?
 
I find most LGS may have 1 or 2 boxes of this on the shelf as there are quite a few old other makes that use the .32 S&W. I'd check there first before ordering on line.
 
Welcome to the forum.

You might also try a local gun show. Many times I have found boxes of old ammo at shows plus you get to look at a bunch of other neat guns too.
