"The first catalogue I have that shows the No. 32 is the undated pocket catalogue of about 1932 or 3, pre DuPont. It shows the double trigger No. 32A with 30-inch plain barrels as standard and 28- or 32-inch barrels to order. The double triggered No. 32 TC "Target" grade had 28-, 30- or 32-inch vent rib barrels. The third offering was the No. 32S "Trap Special" grade with 28-, 30-, or 32-inch solid rib barrels. This catalogue states "Eventually we will have a single trigger for these guns but for the time being double triggers will be supplied. Later the single trigger can be fitted at a moderate extra charge."
According to the 1938 Dealer's Price List the No. 32A "Standard" Grade had a wholesale price of $100.80 and a retail price of $126. A raised solid rib was $6/$8. Extra barrels were $52.50/$60. The choice of barrel lengths was 26-, 28-, or 30-inch with choice of boring -- full, modified, improved cylinder or cylinder. Higher grades were the No. 32D "Tournament" grade for $232.50/$276.50; No. 32E "Expert" grade for $276.25/$326.50; and the No. 32F "Premier" grade for $350.60/$411.50. Grip style and stock dimensions to order on the higher grades, $13.10/$15.00 extra on the No. 32A.
The Trap gun was the No. 32TC "Target" grade for $123.35/$154.90 with 30- or 32-inch vent rib barrels. An extra set of vent rib barrels for the No. 32TC was $67.80/$80.40.
The No. 32 "Skeet" grade came with 26- or 28-inch barrels with "Remington Special Skeet boring." With a plain barrel $103.40/$129; with solid rib barrels $109.40/$137; and with vent rib barrels $118.70/$149.40.
All the No. 32s were offered in 12-gauge only. The only gun that regularly came with a pad was the No. 32TC, which is shown with a Hawkins with the heart-shaped holes. A recoil pad was $4.65/$5.50 extra on any Remington gun.
The No. 32 offerings in 1939 were the same, and by January 2, 1942, the offerings were still the same but prices were up sharply. In the 1947 catalogue the No. 32s are pictured but overstamped "Not Available in 1947."
