Were Star's every made in 32 S&W Long or 38 S&W?
Kenneth L. Walters:
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.
