I have this nifty little guy in my closet. It was a gun that my grandfather had stuffed in a sock, in a drawer for who knows how long!!
A little research discovered that this is a S&W DA Hammerless Revolver, 1st model (.32 cal). The 1st models were produced from 1888-1902 and the serial numbers went up to 19,xxx. This one is 17,xxx, so I'm guessing somewhere around 1900?
Either way, it's pretty nifty. Not in great shape, but appears to be fully functional. Still holds nice and tight and the grips aren't cracked or chipped. Anybody know why they call it the "Lemon Squeezer"? Anyone know more about this puppy, or maybe a guess at what it might be worth?
