I believe this info tells me it is a .32 Reg Police Rebated SQ.Butt.

Now for your help and advice:
How old is it? Have I described it correctly?
I purchased it this last week-end at the Canton, TX Gun Show.
I'll tell you how much I paid for it as soon as I get answers to my above questions.
Congrats!
You did quite well on your purchase, both condition and price wise.
You've described it very well. The square butt adapter stocks distinguish it as an RP.

The large 'mushroom' extractor knob is not unique to the Reg Police version however, and was shared by all models w/o shrouded barrels until the change order of 1/22/27.

The 32 Reg Police had an ~ serial #258001 when first introduced in 1917.

Enjoy shooting and sharing it with your wife. Have you taught her how to clean it?
