Around the time S&W was making guns for the Russians, and selling their "Russian" model in the U.S., a couple of companies latched on to the word "Russian" or related words like "Czar".
F&W made decent quality guns; the company was taken over by Hopkins and Allen in 1902.
There is some .32 RF ammo around, both long and short, but it is not cheap. Navy Arms had a batch made in the 1970's and there has been talk about Aquila making some, but AFAIK nothing definite yet.
