INA .32 S&W Long Tiger Blue Snub model 30 Copy 6 Shot 3 inch 1968 Brazil Blue Steel & Walnut Flat Latch 32 Smith & Wesson Caliber

This listing is for the exact revolver in the photos. The INA Tiger made a brief splash against its competitor the Rossi 33 in the late 1960s, just in time for the 1968 Gun Control Act to interfere with both companies. Manufacturer was Industria Nacionale de Armas, of São Paulo, Brazil. INA had corporate connections with Imbel, producer of many Springfield Armory 1911 pistols. From this specimen’s 220000 range serial number, it was manufactured in 1968, final year of importation into the US, most likely by Eig Cutlery in Miami. It came to us from its home in New England. Type is traditional double and single action. Construction is entirely steel, with Brazilian walnut magna type service grips. Finish is bright blue, with chrome plated trigger and hammer. Frame is J Size small frame, with Square Butt Grip frame and 5 screw design. Barrel is 3 inch medium type. Front Sight is serrated blade welded into its matte rib upper. Rear sight is frame integral fixed notch. Cylinder capacity is 6 rounds of .32 Smith & Wesson [short] and .32 S&W Long ammunition interchangeably. Trigger is .240 serrated face service type with matching shorter spur serrated hammer. Thumb latch cylinder release is classic flat serrated type. Weight empty is a well balanced 19 1/4 ounces with center of gravity at the rear cylinder face. Double action trigger pull is smooth and consistent, 10 pound vicinity, with a 5 1/2 pound single action pull with minimal felt creep. Safety system consists of a transfer bar that prevents the firing pin from touching a cartridge primer unless the trigger is fully depressed. Ignition is hammer nose firing pin. Surface detractions are moderate to extensive, principally about 20 percent superficial pitting on the left side and a hairline crack atop the left grip panel. We rate this .32 Tiger as Good, 65 percent vicinity by our estimate; but photos ought to suffice for our distinguished shoppers to judge finish grade for themselves. Bore, chamber, and mechanism are all bright and clean. Cylinder times and aligns correctly in all six positions. Lateral cylinder play is negligible with the trigger relaxed; with the trigger fully depressed there is no lateral play whatsoever. Blast effect to the cylinder face and top strap is minimal. We do not believe this revolver was fired more than 50 times. Replacement pricing on most any steel frame .32 Revolver is upwards of $400, and they aren’t plentiful at all.
