I called my LGS this morning and he said he got in a real nice Colt in .32-20.....As I'm a sucker for the cartridge I drove over.
I was not disappointed when he handed me a very lightly used 5" barreled .32-20 Colt Army Special in great shape.....I rate it at 90+%. Not bad for a 101 year old revolver. The hard rubber grips are proper and numbered to the revolver.
Sadly these revolvers do not command all that much price wise. I paid a little under it's worth (given it's condition) at $450.00.
The old 5" Red Head holster I bought off of eBay last year....It had belonged to Stembridge Gun Rentals, the main supplier of arms to Hollywood at one time.

This was the period when the lever action rifle still ruled the roost and lots of outdoorsmen and farmers still saw the need to have a rifle and a handgun chambered in the same caliber.....Indeed, .32-20 is often called the "farmer's caliber" as it was effective on farm pests a farmer might encounter as well as the occasional mid-sized deer.
Here's a little something on the revolver.
