Welcome to the forum.

The barrel stamping is 32 S&W CTG for cartridge. The model # you gave from inside the yoke is an assembly number. It only had a model name until 1957 when it became the Mod 31.
I agree it sounds like a pre war Model 32 Regulation Police, 1929-30s era .
Serial # on the forestrap, square but wood stocks, probably 4 1/4" barrel.
Mushroom shaped extractor rod head or barrel shaped?
An unfired gun of that age is not impossible, just improbable; have you evaluated for a refinish? This will make a big difference in value.

A very fun gun to shoot.
