Lucked up on this one last month.  Nothing was overlooked in the restoration.

And another

That is a Dandy , and in a very good cartridge . Lucky you .

Really nice. Great color case. How does it shoot ?

Haven't shot it yet.  Still recovering from the skyrocketing price of .32-20 ammunition.  Not only is loaded ammo price getting out of hand, cartridges for reloading are virtually impossible to find.  I'm still in the stage of holding, looking, drooling, and loving the rifle~!

The older gentleman I bought it from couldn't remember much of anything about it other than the fact that he had owned it for 17 years.  Getting old really sucks.  He was really a nice old gentleman and wasn't looking to create a retirement fund with the sales proceeds.  I'm still waiting to hear from him about his Model '92 in .32WCF.

I've already asked him several times, but I get no response.  I know that he was having some pretty serious heart issues when I bought the '85.  I understand what you're up against looking for ammo because I've just gone through all that myself.  I've been able to scrounge up 400 rounds of fresh factory ammo, 100 virgin Remington cartridges, and 27 virgin Starline cartridges As you know by now it cost me a bunch of money.  Hopefully I don't destroy any of the spent cartridges attempting to reload them.
Just keep up the search and even when the price sounds unreasonable spend the money.  I'm afraid we've seen the last of the .32-20.  It's a shame because it's a nice little cartridge.

purdy!
