Ethan Allen & Co 32RF Pistol

allegretti
The Collector's Guide to Antique Guns desribe a 32 Rf with a 4" barrel. My Ethan Allen & Co 32 RF describes and looks exactly like the picture except it has a 5" barrel. Can anyone provide additional info? Thanks.

    First of all, THE reference book on American antique arms is Norm Flayderman's book, now in it's 9th edition. Most other "collector's guides" are alsorans. Ethan Allen made a variety of small handguns under that name, Allen & Wheelock, and others. You don't indicate which model you have: single shot, center hammer revolver, side hammer revolver, etc. Being a 32RF it might be the side hammer revolver in which case barrel lengths were from just under 3-inches to 5 inches. See if your library has a copy of Flayderman's and thumb through the Ethan Allen section.

    I will check the local libraies which are quite small. I may buy the Flayderman's book . It is a single shot,center hammer with auto ejection and 5" barrel.It is not marked Allen & Thurber nor Allen & Wheelock but as stated "Ethan Allen Co" which superceded the others. I was only wondering if the pistol was made in varios barrel lengths or if the 4" barrel stated in in my book was an error? I will find the answer somewhere. thanks
