I am still waiting to pick this thing up from the FFL , but I bought this thing as is . It reads "U.S. Revolver Co., Made in USA" on the sight rib. It's got a "hard rubber" grip that has two screws and extends below the frame. That, combined with the ~5 inch barrel leads me to believe that it's a somewhat rare variant. I can only provide photos from the auction.
Serial number on the trigger guard is 48957 (I think). I was really hoping to be able to report if the trigger return spring worked (it should) and the hammer return spring worked (it should) and provide the "true" serial number before posting, but it seems I have to wait until the FFL is ready for me to pick up my firearm.
In my quest to get a little bit of satiation before getting my revolver I'm curious of the following:
How many .32 "target models" were made.
What the grips of the "target models" were made of (So I can try to fabricate reasonable approximations)
If my revolver is fit for smokeless powder. I have read on this very forum that all U.S, Revolver Co. guns were fit for smokeless, then I read more recently that some are only fit for black.
I will update once I get my hands on the revolver and can provide the actual serial number (with prefix) and most likely more photos. I'm looking to conservatively refinish the revolver so as to preserve it for myself and future generations.
