I have a Smith & Wesson that I inherited from my dad. What I think I know about it is that is a .22 on .32 frame. The serial number (verified in multiple locations) is 530252. I will get pictures posted later. Any help or details on the weapon would be appreciated.

Welcome to the forums from the Wiregrass! Your serial number would put it being made in 1941. After you post some pictures we might be able to tell you a little more about it.

I am a new guy to this forum and have paltry skill with this sort of thing. I have a model 27 with a five digit serial number. Please offer advice regarding how to date this gun. I will eventually request letters of authenticity and history if I can get the research started. I have had this gun for over 30 years. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks. As a techno-dolt it will take me a while to figure this out. I do have some pics of the serial number that are readable. Thanks again and I will try to get this done quickly.

You have a revolver from about 1938. If it has a 4" barrel it's a .22/32 Kit Gun model, became the Model 34 in 1957.
If it has a 6" barrel it's a .22/32 Target model, became the Model 35 in 1957. They are both made on the 32 frame size labeled the "I" Frame. Short barrel versions are still made to this day.
