Oh, that's just excitement when i get another one....she knows about all of them... says they all look the same and doesn't care.

I have some worth thousands and some worth hundreds. I get the same reaction.

Those 3"+ Hand Ejectors are great shooters. Don't try to hot rod it. Until
S&W switched to the J frame with the Model 30-1 and 31-1, they weren't what you want to load up to magnum velocities.

I recently picked up a "circa 1918" I-frame .32 Regulation Police at a LGS. It cleaned up nicely, nice trigger, can't wait to shoot it.

I like my modern semi's, but there's just something about handling a 100 year old gun that still looks good and functions well.

Pretty sure the grips and pretty nickel finish are original. But now I think maybe I need a blued Model 30/31 to pair her up with.

Although I am not sure she knows about my Registered Magnum....

Swing the cylinder open and look at the serial number that is stamped under the barrel. Blued revolvers have a "B" stamp in front of the SN. The lack of the "B" indicates that the revolver shipped from S&W with a nickel finish.

Since we like photos and are talking about the 32 Hand Ejector Model, here is my "little" revolver. 32HE, with a 3 1/4" barrel, blued finish and gutta percha (?) stocks.

The original stocks are fragile so I am looking for sturdier replacements. The Sunday holster is a copy of that which came from the saddlers on the King Ranch.

Your photo looks to be an exact copy of mine except the grips on your firearm appear to be square butt vice rounded butt, which mine have. Otherwise looks identical.

Yes, that's what makes yours a 32 Hand Ejector and his a 32 Regulation Police, (hand ejector). His grip frame is also cut different however:
