    Look at the fine print on top of the barrel.Come back with a description on condition and type of finish, bore, cylinder bores, barrel length, condition of grips, their marking, material.

    gun is in perfect condition, It was my grandmothers, and she was scared of it so it just sat under the bed. There is nothing written on top of the barrel, It is a 6 shot. I did notice that before the serial number there is a k. It is not right next to the number, but very close. I dont know the barrel length of hand, but it is a long barrel. If you need the exact length let me know and I will measure it.

    Do you open and swing out the cylinder by pulling forward on the exposed portion of the cylinder pin???? Or does it have a sliding cylinder latch on the left side of the frame??? I suspect it is the latter.

    There were many clones made of S&W revolvers. Look on the cylinder for patent dates and look on the grips for the smith logo. A lot of the old guns just say they are chambered for S&W long, not that they are S&W.

    Your S&W .32 Hand Ejector Third Model was one of the early ones, made around 1911-1913. Current values for one as you have described is around $235 to $300. Hope this helps.

    grips are wood, and have a brass S&W logo, the revolver is opened by a latch on the left side, and also has the s&w logo engraed on the gun itself
