Guardian 32 Cal Revolver
Does anyone know about a Guadian 32 Cal, 7 shot revolver? Stamped Guardian Firearms Imp-Exp, Made in America, looks to be chrome plated, doesn't realy look nickeled. This is a real jim dandy, it's in real good shape, heavyer than hell, genuine plastic grips.
Any information would be great.
Thank you.

The only one I can think of is this one made by North American Arms, out of Utah.
Although they do make revolvers, their Guardian is the only one available in 32 caliber, as far as I know.
They are currently in production and made of stainless steel. A high quality personal protection pistol. But their so many cheaper plastic framed .380's available of the same size, I doubt that they are viable.

That's the .32 NAA (Necked down 9mm Kurtz) they also make a .32 ACP.
There is at least one & maybe more tool room version of a .32 Mag revolver they proposed to make. It was to be called the Earl but when it was cancelled that name was used for a .22/.22 mag pistol.
You would not believe what a Rube Goldberg contraption it was. I might imagine that pistol could have a nice collector value if that were what you were talking about.0 -
There was also another version of the Guardian semi-auto, called the 25 NAA, which was the 32 ACP necked down to 25 cal.

EDIT:
Maybe, you have an F.I.E. Guardian (aluminum-zinc alloy frame), like this one:
EDIT #2:
Here is the nickel-plated version:0 -
BigLoop22,
Looks alot like the last one, except for the shiny plated finish.
Had a metal guy look at it, he said it's chrome.
Says Guardian, Miami Florida on the frame.
Can't be an alloy frame, it's too heavey and the magnet sticks.
Anyway, guy gave it to me to sell, it's in good condition, for what it is, but I have no idea what it's worth. I've done searches every where, nothing. I'm going to put it on my table at our club show saturday. Some one give me a ball park.
Thanks.

There listed in the Blue Book under FIE. The U.S. made ones are priced between $100 & $150. Depending on condition, finish etc.0 -
Thank you for all the help.
