Karen, I also welcome you to the forum. Here's a picture of a .32 Hand Ejector I recently acquired that is numbered 214622 -- only 10,000 away from yours. I have confirmed that this is a 1915 gun. As Ed said, yours probably is too, though there is a chance yours might have shipped in late 1914. Sorry about the rose cast to the image. I was shooting on a flat green surface and the camera's color balance software tried to turn it gray.



These guns came with 3.25, 4.25 and 6-inch barrels. The barrel on mine is 4.25". I also have hard rubber grips, but mine have faded to brown from age; I don't think that's the original color.

I had this at the range last week. I shoot low-speed wadcutter rounds in it. It makes for an enjoyable, low-recoil shooting session.

Value will depend on condition. I paid just over $300 for mine and thought it was a fair price for a gun with a good action and about 95% of its original blue left.
