    You have a Single Action, spur trigger Model 1 1/2 if 5 shot; 2 1/2 if 7 shot. It was made, most likely, between 1878 and 1880. It should have a "saw handle" grip (squared off bottom) and the original grips are checkered hard black rubber with a "Union" shield molded at the top; nickel finish. It is unlikely that you will find parts from other than a parted-out gun. This model rarely shows up on this auction site - but I have seen several over the past 14 years of watching. I have s/n 5220 and 7220 in my collection (5220 is as new in box and dates from 1879.) You might try e-mailing or phoning Numrich at e-gunparts.com.

    King - measure the top to bottom dimension of the cylinder window. I'll check that same on my examples and let you know. Obviously, the 7 shot cylinder will have a larger diameter and therefore need a wider window.

    King,
    That will make it a 5 shooter. Good luck in finding parts - try Numrich and cruise the auction sites. Used part dealers at gunshows MAY have what you need, but it will take some serious searching. Happy New Year.

    Good luck with ammo, the last box that I bought was from a 1960s run from Brasil. As far as I know that was the last production of 32rf. The box I found cost me $75.

    HEY!!! I just got this parade on the road! at least let me find my parts before you break out the rain clouds! besides, i'll only have to buy one box, it's not like i'm going to take it out and shoot it every day.

    If you do a Google search for .32 rimfire ammo - I believe you will find several current sources at reasonable prices. With all the SASS Cowboy shooters resurrecting old pieces like yours for side matches, the market for this ammo is growing.
