My mother recently received a Rossi 38 spl. 5 round revolver, I'm having trouble locating any information on. It is SUPPOSED to be a model 32, but I can't find anything on that model number. I do know the barrel is bobbed and recrowned. The original box says it's a 6" and it's now a 3, also the cut off leaves very little of the barrel id info in place, a few random letters.
It's import marks are firearms international corp washington dc, and all measurements say it's a 38spl, but as said the barrel marks are mostly gone. Like many Rossi's it seems a mostly copied Smith J frame, slightly smaller than my M68 copy of a Smith Chiefs Special 36 model. Any help on simple stuff like age would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance guys
