Just happen to have "The Book" in front of me, so I'll chime in.
Serial #'s H00001 - H30001 made from 1969-1970.
Hope that helps.

They are lots of fun to shoot. Ammo is tough to come by now in any caliber, but it should show up if you keep checking the online ammo sites.

I check ammoseek.com and sgammo.com every morning. I was able to buy several hundred rounds of 32 long this week. Also, Buffalo Bore always has their 32 long ammo I'm stock it seems.
I have H283xx that was shipped from S&W in October 1970. It’s likely that your M30 was shipped in late 1970 or possibly early 1971.
Smith & Wesson records do not show the manufacture date but only the invoice date from when the gun was sold. Also, they did not ship in serial number order when filling a sales order but whichever gun was pulled from inventory at random.
As steelslaver said the 32’s are a lot of fun to shoot but can be addictive and you may find that one is just not enough!

Welcome to the Forum.
.32 revolvers are FUN! I've owned a bushel basket full of them over the years, from tiny top breaks to the .32-20s to the .327 Federal Magnums.

The .32 guns are a handloaders dream. You can load a lot of rounds with a pound of powder. Keep them light for the older guns, or spice them up a bit for modern revolvers like your 30-1.
I load lots of .32 S&W Long for my 31-1, and have a 30-1 incoming. I also load .327 Fed mag and .32 H&R mag for an SP101.

Welcome aboard from ol' Wyo.
Congrats, and I'm sorry for your loss.
Enjoy that little .32 Hand Ejector. Great fun.
Wow, don't think I've heard that measurement since the OP's .32 left the factory.

That's 'bout the same as three poke sacks.
