Discovered this old boy cleaning out my MILs crawl space Sat. From what I can determine it's a S&W type 4 model 2, 32 cal rimfire. SN 26017 from what I can tell. The barrel is either 5 or 6 inches depending on where the measurement is taken. There are a couple of problems with the gun. The cylinder will not index with the action of the gun (hammer-trigger) unless the barrel is pointed down which leads me to believe there's a broken spring in the index mechanism. In addition, I found the top strap laying loose in the box and the three top strap (frame) pins are missing. I'm assuming there is also supposed to be a spring or something underneath the top strap?
The gun appears to be all original and has plenty of "patina" (my most favorite word-not)....it is not in mint condition.
Is there any kind of market for these and / or any source for parts to put this back into some kind of complete / functioning condition?
Thx in advance for any feedback. RA
