Model 32s came with two rib profiles, "flat" and "Vandalia." The flat rib looks like today's standard K-80 rib except it was narrower while the Vandalia version was higher, very much like the rib on today's Beretta O/U and top single barrels.

Vandalia ribbed barrels are worth more than flat ribbed ones as there weren't as many made and a lot of people like them better.

It is a model 32 Krieghoff with a slightly higher rib than the standard model 32.
