This is the same vintage "22/32 Kit Gun Model of 1953" offered elsewhere on this site and identified as "Pre-Model 1953 22/32 Kit Gun".  The Model was introduced in 1953, commencing with Serial Number 1.  The subject revolver was made in late 1953.

In 1953, a new series of Kit Guns was produced. The official designation was “22/32 Kit Gun, Model of 1953”. These differed from previous production in having a new “I” frame with a coiled main-spring and micro-click sights. They had 4 screws, coil mainsprings, larger trigger guards and larger grip frames like the new “J-frame” revolvers then being produced for personal defense purposes. This began a separate serial number series starting with number 101. This serial number series continued until October, 1968, when the serial numbers had progressed to number 136,465.
