I have inherited an open top.32 rim fire revolver, 5 shot. I'm trying to identify the year it was made. Serial number is 22167 on the bottom of the trigger guard. It has a hammer and pearl grips. Patent says may 10. 87- march 18.88

Welcome to NWFA @DouglasK. Sounds like an interesting old revolver. Are there any other markings besides the serial and patent dates? Would you have pictures?

One good print resource that may help is Suicide Specials by Donald Webster (Stackpole, 1958).

Cheers.

It was my late grandfather's gun. He was killed in 1949

I wish I could get the date of manufacture

It's usually easy to find dates of manufacture for Colt, Winchester, etc. However, it's frustratingly difficult for many other manufacturers.
