Philster,
Welcome to the forum.
We need to determine if you have a "small frame" = 5 shooter in .32 or a "large frame" = 6 shooter in .32. Also, the serial number doesn't jive - are you sure there is a "dot" before the last digit? I've never heard of that before. Break it open, remove the cylinder and check the "real" serial number underside of the top strap/latch.
