I'm not sure how to post pics from my phone but I have an older revolver its says FCA DE ARMAS GARANTIZADAS 1924 EIBAR. on the side of the barrel says 32-20 long ctg. Has white plastic grips made to look like antlers maybe. Has a round wheel release on the left side. Just wondering if anyone would know anything about it?
this is what the ol' girl looks like

Although it's a uncommon handgun, there is little collector interest in these older Spanish revolvers. Since they aren't also known for the quality of their workmanship and materials, care should be taken if you intend to fire it. Best to have a competent gunsmith check the timing and lockup of the cylinder, and test fire it.
EDIT #1, Your revolver is of later production, as the Spanish factories weren't required to have mandatory Proof Marks until the mid 20's. Even with the PM's though I would not put to much faith in it's materials and workmanship.
EDIT #2, Very little collector demand/value for these older Spanish revolvers in the States at this time. Also because of their poor reputation as far as material and workmanship is concerned, few knowledgeable folks buy them as shooters.
This belonged to a police officer who, I suspect, used it for his "drop" gun. It is unsafe to fire.

Thank youi was just wondering about any info ive had this thing for years and had never looked into it at all. I dont plan on shooting it ever just maybe making a shadow box with it in or something
Texas. Not sure of the years when he was sheriff, but I now have the gun, and he put three notches in the grip(don't know any more history about the gun). The cylinder will not lock in place until
the hammer is pulled back. It was made that way. I didn't know that until I took it to a gunsmith.
