Back in May I came across a great deal on a .32 DW revolver at a show.  This forun was down at the time and I just now found it back online.  Yay!

Got it from an older gentleman for $550 total with a little ammo and a holster.  Seems to be in great condition with a little staining on the frame ahead of the cylinder (have not yet tried to actually clean it).

I think I only need a .41 Mag and a .45 Colt now.

You could not have done better on that deal. Beautiful revolver in pristine condition. Happy shooting!

My favorite cartridge. Not only have a few Dan's,but I carry a S&W Airweight and have a few extra. Plus a few Taurus Ultralights  that are much cheaper. Taurus has a very inexpensive 327 Federal that chambers 32 mag, 32S&W Long and Short.

That's a steel. Most likely would sell from $1500 to $1900 Also it's a Palmer just look at that beautiful Palmer bluing They did such a good job on the finish!

Thanks, guys.  I don't think I'd be interested in trading.

 

I also have quite a few .32s.  For REVOLVERS, I have 18 from Colt, Dan Wesson, H&R, Ruger, S&W, Taurus and US Revolver Co.  (If we expand to long guns, semi-autos and other handgun actions, the number climbs above 40.)

Most "modern" are the S&W 432UC and Taurus .327

Oldest is a S&W "Tip up" 1 1/2 in .32 rimfire from about 1871

The Taurus 327 is one of the best deals around. And the Taurus triggers stage great. Double action becomes single action if you want more accuracy. You don't have to cock the hammer.

Oh that's a nice one, and you stole it @$550.  

One glance at the finish and bluing on that gun immediately reveal that it was manufactured during the "Palmer, MA" years of the company.  There have been a lot of writings and controversy over the quality of workmanship that came out of the Palmer, MA era guns, but when they got it right the guns were some of the best ever produced.  I've seen and bought both....some of the worst and some of the best.  That looks like a nice one you got.
