Only markings are posted and a serial # on the trigger guard. I'm thinking. 32 s&w, .38 is loose in the cylinder. It's pretty worn out, but cosmeticly decent. Any ideas on approximate value?

My uncle had one of those in .38 S&W (NOT compatible with .38 Spl!). If it is .38 S&W, as I suspect, cartridges are going to be a bitch to find as they haven't been actively produced in decades.

It looks like a copy of S&W, which is what my uncle's was, with the S&W rollmark on the rear of the frame.

I have no idea as to it's value. If it is an S&W, it might be worth quite a bit, if it's a copy by High Standard, for instance, maybe not so much. I've never heard of the U.S Revolver Co. before.

I'll bet Dave will know something....

Tagged for interest.

Crush, kill, mangle, maim, destroy.

I have a .38 S&W round and it's pretty loose in the cylinder. Doesn't fall through but it's close. That's why I'm thinking maybe .32 S&W.

Second up, I'm thinking is a starter pistol. .22lr in the pic, I think a .22 short would even stick out. Absolutely no markings at all and doesn't lock up for shit...

If a .38 is loose in the cylinder, how would a smaller caliber be correct? Wouldn't that just be even more loose?

Duh... Not thinking this morning! haha

Is there anything slightly LARGER than a .38 S&W? Wow the brain just isn't going today...haha

Doesn't seem like they made them in anything bigger than .38 from what I can find

Don't forget 38 s&w and 38 Special are actually .36. So bear that in mind if a 38 loose in the cylinder.

I couldn't find anything from back then that was slightly larger either.

Looks good to me... !!!:llama:!!! haha

41 long colt? Bullet dia was 38

Could be... No idea where to even find one of those.
No way in hell would I shoot it anyway as out of time as it is anyway...haha

Haha. From what I have been reading these revolvers were loose as hell and pretty shitty quality...as demonstrated by your lock up pic there...lol

Just drop a 38 special in there and pull the trigger, what's the worst that can happen?

BTW: Be sure get a video of it.

Why not go .357mag and have some real fun? haha

.38 bigger than .32

It'll be fiiiiiiiiine... haha

Suicide Soecials are worth 50-130.00

Timing correction is hand and bolt.

Not sure of caliber , sounds like a 38/40.

According to the case dia numbers 38 S&W Special would be loose in a 38 S&W cylinder. Although the 38 special's length would probably keep you from closing the cylinder.

Check out the case dia of the 38LC.
38 S&W Special would be loose in a 38LC cylinder as well.
But there the issue of length to contend with
