Smith & Wesson Model 32-1 .38 S&W CTG 2" Blued Revolver w/ Ivory Grips & Box
Up for auction is a classic and highly collectible Smith & Wesson Model 32-1, chambered in .38 S&W (CTG), featuring a compact 2-inch barrel, elegant blued finish, and fitted with attractive ivory-style grips, complete with its original factory box.
The Model 32-1 is part of Smith & Wesson’s long-running J-frame “Terrier” series, known for its compact size and smooth double-action operation. Originally designed as a reliable pocket revolver, it became popular for concealed carry and backup use, as well as a favorite among collectors of classic Smith & Wesson handguns.
This example stands out with its traditional styling and desirable accessories, including the ivory grips, which add significant visual appeal and collector interest. The short 2" barrel gives it a classic snub-nose profile while maintaining the balance and handling characteristics the Terrier line is known for.

Condition:
Overall condition appears very good with light handling wear consistent with age and normal use. Blued finish may show minor edge wear or light surface marks. Ivory-style grips are in very good condition with expected light handling marks. Bore should be inspected for brightness and rifling. Action should be checked for proper timing, lock-up, and smooth operation. Box shows typical storage wear.
Additional Notes:
The Model 32-1 Terrier is a desirable Smith & Wesson variant, especially in snub-nose configuration with original box and upgraded grips. Its combination of classic styling, compact design, and collector appeal makes it a strong addition to any Smith & Wesson or J-frame collection.
