Should I buy these revolvers?

[TheCoachZed]

So, I have the opportunity to buy a couple revolvers for $75 (for both). I haven't seen them, but apparently they are a .32 and a .38. One is reportedly a "police model" and one is reportedly nickel-plated (maybe stainless?)

I have no restricted licence and certainly no prohib licence, so the .32 is useless to me.

The guns are registered - to a dead guy. His son is selling the revolvers. He has the paperwork.

Would it be worthwhile for me to think about taking the time to go through getting my restricted paperwork for these revolvers, seeing I have to sell or destroy one anyway? I don't know what prohibs go for these days, but I'm betting it's not high.

Sure it would. However, you wont be able to get the .32

"...you wont be able to get the .32..." The .32 has to go to somebody with the 12(6) permit. You cannot have it at all.
As to the .38, depends on the make, model, barrel length and condition.
"...His son is..." The son the executor. If he isn't he can't sell 'em unless they've been transfered to him.

Yeah, I'll look into it further but it looks like more trouble than it's worth for a gun I can't use for anything useful.

If the .38 is a police model then it will likely have a 4" or shorter barrel and therefor be prohibited.
