A Pre 32 in 38 S&W

Here is my pre-32. It dates to 1939 or 1940. I just walked into the gun-shop one day and there it was. I truly enjoy the Victories and the Terriers. Now if I could just find more time to enjoy shooting them. It is serial #52362

I am also including a picture of him with his cousins, a Pre-36 Chief Special dating to 1955, and a pre-37 Airweight dating to 1956.

Enjoy

S&W Oldtimer,

Your picture didn't show up and I'd love to see it, but even more, I would like to know the SN range, especially if it is confirmed by letter or other solid documentation. Why? Because I would like to know whether my early post-War .32 HE snubbie is a '49er, since that's my birth year! If it looks even close, I'll do the deed and get it lettered, but I'd like to know going in whether it's likely. I'd also like to know about a confirmed SN range for the same vintage Terriers for the same reason.

TIA ~ Froggie

jc, those are beauties!

green, the serial numbers seem to be all over the place on the 32s. some are WAY lower than scosw even puts in the 4-line address area.
i'd say that if it has the small service stocks, and they are numbered to it, you have a real good chance that it is from '49. it seems to me like they went to the magnas very quickly, maybe even still in '49. i definitely know of several lettered from 1950 with the serial numbered magnas.
