I have a Smith & Wesson .32 short hammerless nickel revolver (Third edition). I was told the 2" barrel, like mine, is pretty scarce and the value would be higher. At about 90% and good bore what could be the price for? About the quality after all these years....safe to fire? Thank you.

  Flayderman values the 3rd Model 32 Safety Hammerless, 2", between $325 & $550 depending on condition. This would be in the U.S. of course. Have no idea what this would translate to, as fair market value in your country.
  
  As the 32 S & W was originally a Black Powder Cartridge that dated to the last quarter of the 19th Century. The ammo manufacturers load only low pressure smokeless loads for the modern cartridges. My 2 ? is you have nothing to worry about, as the Third Model was made as late as the 1930's for modern smokeless ammo.

  Useful to me know the price in US as I can figure it out as an aproximate value here in Chile. Anyway it is a nice piece of history to keep if nobody interested. Thank you.
