Description

This Smith & Wesson .32 S&W Top-Break revolver is a true American antique—manufactured before 1898 and legally considered a non-firearm under federal law. These compact top-breaks were among Smith & Wesson’s most popular pocket revolvers of the late 19th century, known for their simple “break open, eject all” mechanism and rugged steel construction.

This example retains portions of its original nickel finish, with patina and oxidation present throughout, consistent with its age. The hard rubber grips show the classic S&W monogram and remain intact without major cracks—an important detail for collectors. The barrel measures approximately 3½ inches, and all major components appear complete, including the latch, trigger guard, and top strap.

As an affordable pre-1898 collectible, this revolver is ideal for enthusiasts of Old West, Victorian-era, or early American handgun history. It displays well as-is or could serve as a candidate for restoration.
