List of Older Charter Arms revovlers?

I kind of have this fascination for old, but decently made revolvers from US companies like H&R, Iver Johnson, and of course, Charter Arms.

I'm finding that I'm a big fan a older Charter revolvers, basically those made from the 60's up until whenever it was Charter became CHARCO in the 90's. Today's Charter revolvers look so homogenized and bland compared to the blue and wood of the older Charters that were full of soul.

I continue to find models of these older Charter's that I didn't know existed, like the .32 S&W Long Undercover. I was born in the 90's, so I have no idea what Charter made back in the day and I'd like to know if there are any books or articles or anything that I can get that lists what Charter made back then.

If no such books or media exists, would anyone here be able to give me a run down of what Charter made before 1990? Obviously I know they made the .44 Bulldog and .32 Undercovers.

RSW Sales has two early Pathfinders in .22LR listed here:

Not that I have seen a lot of CA's anyway, but I have never seen one of the Pathfinder models with dual cylinders! That would be quite an item for a CA collection.

What are people's thoughts on the old Charter Bulldog .357's in 4 and 6 inch? They look like they'd be lighter than the SP101's with the 4 inch barrel.
