Need a degree from MIT to use smith ans wesson historical society. Ened up with a migraine lol
Have you tried contacting S&W and give them the serial# to help identify what you have?

Yes after being on hold for 45 minutes they said no records with serial number that old. Get in touch with historical. Which after being sent everwhere but russia got a headache and gave up
I found phone calls work wonders in those situations. I contacted the Buffalo Bill Cody society, or some such thing, to put a date on my 1894. Phone calls worked the best.

Dont have alot of gun knowledge. What ammo should he try to buy
.32 S&W but it's probably going to be hard to find but here's a link from Midway USA where it's sold out but at least you can setup a notify request for when stock comes in.
Do not confuse .32 S&W with .32acp they are completely different ammo types.

The only info I could find is that serial numbers lower than 209,300 are before December 31, 1898.

If there's any additional numbers located on the pistol it maybe helpful to identify the year.
