Smith & Wesson DA 32 4th Model – .32 S&W – Double Action – LOOK!

This is a no-reserve penny auction for a Smith & Wesson DA 32 4th Model double-action revolver in .32 S&W. Serial number- 276875. This revolver is in good condition for its age with a beautiful patina and has a fair bore with visible lands and grooves with some frosting and pitting present. There is some pitting present and there is a chip missing on the butt of both grip panels. The double-action functions fine, but the hammer does not hold at full cock. The timing is slightly off but the lock-up is decent with about 1/16" of play. The cylinder freely rotates both clockwise and counterclockwise.

The Smith & Wesson .32 Double Action (DA) 4th Model Revolver, produced between 1883 and 1909, was a compact, top-break revolver popular for personal defense. It featured a double-action mechanism and was chambered in .32 S&W, making it easy to use and suitable for concealed carry. With approximately 239,000 units produced, it came in blued or nickel finishes with hard rubber or wooden grips. Though primarily used by civilians, its reliability and practical design made it a significant part of the evolution of pocket revolvers in the late 19th century, and it remains a popular collector's item today.
