"32 Safety Hammerless 3rd Model. Serial numbers ran from 170000 in 1909 to 242981 in 1937. The book does not narrow the date down any closer."

Jim

thank you very much Jim, I was guessng somewhere around 1920ish. The gun belonged to my great grandmother who was born in 1872. She died in 1953. I tried to shoot the gun when i was a child but was not strong enough to "squeeze". I inherited the gun some years ago and got it out yesterday to shoot it, thinking for some reason it was a .22. imagine my surprise! anyway, gun last used by my grandmother to shoot a snake in the early 1980s - in good but well used condition.

thanks again
