Description:

Also known as the Lemon Squeezer, this is the third model .32 Safety Hammerless or "lemon squeezer". Single line address with Maltese crosses marked on top of the rib, and "+32 S.&W. CTG+" on the left side of the barrel. The Second Model is distinguished by the "T" shaped barrel latch. Five-round fluted cylinder with auto ejector and concealed hammer. The revolver is factory engraved in typical New Departure fashion of scroll and vine work on the barrel, frame, and safety grip. Blue barrel latch and trigger guard with a casehardened trigger. The revolver finish is gold over nickel with factory Mother of pearl grips with S&W medallion inserts.

Rating Definition:

Very fine. The entire revolver has the period, possibly factory gold plated finish remaining over the original nickel finish and retains about 50% gold plating which has flaked off along high edges and exposed areas. The floor plate under the cylinder has had a previous owner's social security number electrically penciled in. The engraving and barrel markings are still crisp and clear. The grips are excellent with one minor chip in the left grip stock. Mechanically excellent.
