First time on this site. Does anyone know where I can get info on gun as far as when manufactured etc...?

If it's in .32-20, it would be from approximately 1909-10, and with the adjustable rear sight, if factory original, it would be a K-frame target model. Those are somewhat unusual. With a square butt, it would be called a .32 Hand Ejector, Model of 1905, third change. With a round butt, it would be a Model of 1902. There is essentially no difference between 1905 and 1902 models other than round vs. square butt. S&W dropped the 1905-1902 nomenclature distinction around the time of WWI.
