"The S&W HE is SN 84107"
849xx shipped in 1/20; 850xx shipped in 3/20. Those are the closest SNs I have listed. Yours may have shipped in late 1919. Cylinder heat treating started at SN 81287 in 9/19. It would be a .32-20 Military and Police Model (M&P). S&W did not use the "Model of 1905" terminology that late, but some collectors still do. Do the stocks have a matching SN? They could well be original at that time.

PS - You might want to tighten the hammer spring strain screw. It shouldn't stick out that far.
