Need Help Please
I received a family heirloom that I have two questions about.
No, I don't want to know what it's worth. It's a six shot
revolver
(1)On top of the 5 1/2 in, barell it says "MADE BY BEISTEGUI
BROS"-EIBAR SPAIN---This is the only I.D. on the gun. What brand
Is the gun. I am unable to find it anywhere?
(2)On the side of the barell it says 32-20 Long. I know from
this marking that its a 32 cal., but what does the 20 mean?
The gun is missing a part and I need to find this part.
Thanks in advance

I had my Remington 30 06 bored to a 35 cal. Now my problem is the recoil is bothing my bad shoulder. What kind of pad can I buy to help my problem?

.32-20 is .32 Winchester, which is basically a rifle caliber but was also popular for use in revolvers, and it is rather expensive when compare to most .32 caliber pistol cartridges. Your pistol was made in Spain in a region well known for making massive numbers of very low cost pistols and dumping them on the world market. It was probably produced in the 1920s or 1930s and is most likely a copy of a Smith and Wesson design of some sort. The quality of these guns is fair but they have no value beyond their ability to shoot. You might check with Gun Parts Inc to see if they have parts for the pistol but I am going to be frank, if the part you need costs more than about ten bucks and needs a gun smith to install it then you are throwing your money away with the idea of a restoration/repair. Family heirloom or not, the pistol really isn't worth much money. 0 -
Your revolver unfortunately is mediocre quality, Spanish made, dating probably to the 1920's.
Beistegui Bros were the manufacturers. Eibar is the city in Spain where they were located.
32-20 is the cartridge the revolver is chambered for.
Unless you can have it repaired inexpensively, it probably not worth fixing. There is little collector interest/demand for these Spanish revolvers.0 -

You may have to give them a call to see if they have any parts for your pistol.0
