A local gun shop has a S.& W. .32 Regulation Police, 3.25 inch barrel in overall excellent mechanical shape for sale. Bore a bit dark but lands and grooves ok, muzzle crown ok.
The finish (basically non-existent) needs a great deal of TLC, that is part of the appeal as I want to get better at refinishing. No pitting, very light surface rust here and there. Square type wooden grips with a 1917 patent date are dirty but otherwise excellent and should clean up nicely.
This revolver is missing the uppermost screw adjacent to the hammer. Could someone please comment on exactly what this screw does, where a replacement can be had, and what effect the missing screw should have on price? Is is safe to shoot without this screw (believe I know the answer to that, just asking)? The shop is asking $225.
Your comments appreciated in advance.
