A close friend is liquidating his father's firearms collection due to medical and LTC issues. I'm helping him ID and price the handguns, and this .32 Long is one of the S&Ws that I'm not sure about. I'm mostly an N- and K-frame guy, so these pieces are outside of my wheelhouse. It's a shame that this is one he wants to sell because it was carried by his grandfather for many years. I'm trying to convince him to keep it as a family heirloom, but his only child (daughter) is not interested.
I believe it's a 2" bbl. .32 Long Improved I-frame, 5-screw, round butt with original checked diamond center stocks (later to become the Model 30). The revolver and stocks are in VG condition. The 5-screws and 4-line address lead me to believe it's from the early 1950s. Unfortunately my friend has not provided me with the s/n yet. Any help with a positive ID and DOM would be greatly appreciated. Also, any thoughts on current value would help, too. Thanks in advance.
