Carlsartin,

There needs to be a bit of clarification and correction. What your Mother has is a Model 1902, First Change, .32 Winchester Hand Ejector. It was manufactured, probably late 1904 to early 1905 since it is a square butt. The square butt actually made its' appearance in 1904 before the Model 1905 was introduced.

As JP@AK stated the .32 Winchester, .32 WCF, and .32-20 are just different designations for the same cartridge.

Before 1910 there were two types of stocks for the K-Frame guns. They could be either checkered hard rubber (Ebonite) with moulded in medallions in RB, or checkered Walnut for either RB or SB. Mcmillanbr posted a photo of correct stocks. The others posted, while obviously well-meaning, were incorrect! The "Convex round top" style posted by Messer dates from the 1922-1928 period. Those shown by Combat are at least from 1928 or later and are not original to his gun which dated to ca. 1921.

While this model looks like a Military & Police, and is a K-Frame, it is not a Military & Police, but rather a "Winchester Model". Neither McHenry & Roper nor Supica & Nahas refer to this variation as a Military & Police! These guns had their own distinct serial number series.

Below are photos of correct stocks from the 1899 to 1910 period. They are original and numbered to the revolvers they are. The Hard Rubber are on a late Model 1902 1st Change made in, probably, 1905. The Walnut SB are on a late 1905 2nd Change from ca. 1907.

".....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." DWalt, I don't know when your brain slipped out of gear, but I know that you know better!!!

Well, I was going to post some thumbnails of the correct stocks, but all I seem to get is "Upload Failed"! Maybe later.
