I should know the answer to this but, well, I am getting up there is years.

Greetings,

32 S&W Long, yes. Bruce Williams sent me a photo of one he is refinishing.

Something I would love to add to my collection.

Cheers,

Dave

Probably the rarest .  I have a complete one with taper crimp and case feeder, also a complete die  /shellplate set with charge bar . Steel parts are sealed in plastic with oil .

NYKenn:
I have seen a 32 S&W long, I have yet to see a 38 S&W that was original Star.

Several years ago I purchased a collection of reloaders that included a Universal in 38 Smith & Wesson.   If even included a Lifetyme carbide sizing die marked 38 S&W.   The rest of the dies were made by Star.

When I was putting together my collection, 32 S&WL was the most difficult caliber to find.   It was certainly a caliber that Star produced, but I think there just weren't that many Stars sold in that caliber, so fewer were in circulation.   Since buying Star, I have rebuilt and configured quite a few machines in 32 S&W Long.  It's a relatively popluar caliber among Bullseye shooteres these days.
