Picked up this Smith and Wesson 32 at my parents house this weekend. Belong to my grandfather, on my moms side, who worked at a textile mill in Alabama. He started off at age 11 sweeping floors and retired at 65, in the early 70’s, as the manager of the mill.
The mill was in a small town, in the middle of nowhere, and he kept this pistol in his pocket at all times. He never fired it, but I heard he had to pull it out a few times.
I would imagine it’s over 75 years old and I have five bullets in it that are at least 60 years old.
How would I clean it up to just enough to see the markings on the barrel?
