Hello all, I was just up at a family reunion and was able to come home with my great grampa's old .32 revolver. From everything I've been able to find on it, I'm fairly sure it's a Smith and Wesson double action 4th model. Since this model ran between the centuries (1883-1909) I'm wondering if I can pin it down on one side or the other since my understanding is that 1899 and earlier are "antiques" and 1900 and on are under modern firearm laws? Thanks for any help, the serial number is 1964XX.
