Here's mine. It belonged to my grandmother. I think it was from mid-1930s. I don't have access to my notes at the moment.

You guys sure does have some beauties on your hands. Wow!

Does anyone have a manual on these things or a website where I can find one?

The blue is my 3rd model 32 "squeezer" with a nickel "double action" above that's about 30 years older"

Here's my 3rd Model 3" Safety Hammerless, I don't have a picture of the 2nd Model I picked up last winter yet, and I have a line on a 1st Model. I didn't realize the 1st models were so much more than the others.

Seems like half the guns I buy lately are .32's, but not the more modern "Safety Hammerless" Centennial.

This is my first "Lemon Squeezer", but probably not my last

Origional finish? Really looks nice. I'm assuming that's a 5th Model 38?

I'm glad I have something scarce enough that it was only in cfliers pic in this thread: a Z bar 1st model new departure. I got lucky at a gunshow, $300 Its only a 3 digit gun too, IIRC SN 557. Pictured with it are a 2nd model and a 4th model.

With the 32 new departures I think I have one of each of the models in that photo. I hope to find many more, but I need to wait for the better specimens. When I see these for $200 or less, I frequently buy them.

Can you help me with age and value?

My father recently passed away and in the process of going through his personal belongings, we found this lemon squeezer. We will be liquidating his estate soon and I would like to find the age and the value of this pistol. I live 500 miles away from my family and asked that they send me a photo to post. Sorry, but they sent a poor quality cell phone shot of it. The pistol looks to be in really good shape with no cracks on the pearl handles. There are a few dark spots on the nickel plate. The serial number is 229651. I would appreciate your help.

 

[tseehorn]

5 or 6 years ago I let this one go. I was stupid and didn't appreciate it for what it was and thought I needed something else. I am still kicking myself and this is one of the trades that made me promise to never get rid of any firearms again.

I believe it was a 5th model and I am working on replacing it.....
live and learn.

nice examples everyone.
