How would I find the value of a 32 caliber smith and wesson with pearl handles? the serial # is 316743. the assembly # is 41001. the last patent on the top of barrel is Dec.29 1914. the gun has been reblued. it`s in very good condition. the side of the barrel says 32 long ctg. i believe it is called a hand ejector. pics are attached. thanks

Serial number dates it as a 3rd Model .32 Hand Ejector made between 1911 (263001) and 1942 (536684).

The re-blue appears from the photo's to be poorly done with many rounded edges on the flats.
Also the color case-hardened hammer & trigger were re-blued as well.
The pearl grips are not original.

All that would grade it only Fair, to possibly Good condition, regardless of the actual mechanical condition.

Say $165 Fair - $275 Good tops, if you found someone who really likes it and doesn't care about the collectable value lost to re-finishing it.
