Hi, all! I've been stalking the forum for years, but finally decided to register today. Anyway, today I brought home a pair of 32 Hand Ejectors. They won't win any beauty contests, but they seem to be in great mechanical condition.

The blued one is serial number 9152, which I believe makes it a no change model. Is that right? I'm also a little puzzled by the pinned front sight and different shape on the hammer spur. Granted, the hammer may have gotten reshaped due to a drop or other abuse, but it looks very even and symmetrical for that to have happened.
The nickel revolver is serial number 119895, Fifth change.
If anyone could narrow down when these might have been shipped or shed some light on the front sight and hammer of the blued revolver, I'd be grateful. Up until 6 months ago my oldest S&W was a well used 38-44 Outdoorsman. I'm really enjoying learning about the earlier models. Here's the rest of the early family.
