I am intrigued.
Looking at the photos from gun broker with the grips off, I am intrigued about the two springs that are visible.
At first, I thought you had a 32 Hand Ejector 1st Model, the Model of 1896:
This was the first revolver Smith and Wesson made with a side swinging cylinder. There were quite a few mechanical differences between this model and all the side swinging cylinder revolvers S&W made after it.
Without going into a lot of detail about all the differences, you will notice this model did not have a rebound slide, the rebound slide was not introduced until sometime later.
Notice the arrangement of the springs in this photo of the lockwork of a 32 Hand Ejector 1st Model. The hammer spring is obvious, the smaller spring operates the trigger lever and the rebound lever.
I took the liberty of making a screen capture of the two springs that interest me in your 'new' revolver. I am assuming the spring to the rear is the hammer spring, and the spring to the front operates the trigger/rebound levers, if they are present. It appears to me the strain screw for the hammer spring goes right through the spring in front and has no effect on it.
I am very curious about the lockwork of this revolver. If you get a chance to remove the side plate, I would love to see a photo. You don't have to remove anything, just take the side plate off, take a photo, and post it.
I understand if you are reluctant to remove the side plate, and understand if you do not want to do that.
If you do want to remove the side plate I can give you instructions on how remove it. Whatever you do, do not attempt to pry it off.
Thanks.
