S&W 32cal pistol value?

jbogg · Jan 31, 2018

My father gave me a couple of guns that he acquired somewhere along the way. He was not into shooting or hunting, so no sentimental value. I am looking into selling them but wondered if any S&W guys might give me an idea on the value of this pistol. He purchased it in the mid to late 60s from a coworker, and the best I can tell it was manufactured sometime after 1957. Any insight is appreciated.

Probably not much considering the pitting,
ammo is pretty much obsolete, not much market. IMO.

Think I would just keep it.

$150.00 would be fair/tops.

I would think it would go for a bit more --
Finish does not look great in photo - how is bore?
I am not sure of exactly what it is a 32 kit or M&P 32-20 --

No..I wouldn't be a buyer either and if someone offered $150 they would own it.

Do some online searching regarding S&W serial #'s , I believe the one with the numbers on the bottom of the grip frame is significantly older than 57, it should also have some info on the barrel as far as cartridge and patent date. Not sure of the value, but might be a lot older than you think? I'd figure out exactly what model it is and then try and get an estimate value,

Thanks for the tip. Did a little more digging and based on the serial number it looks like the manufacture date was 1938 or 39'.

I have one like it except mine is nickel. I believe it is a 1903 Hand Ejector.
