Welcome to the Forum.

Your revolver was built in the 1920s. The star on the butt next to the serial number indicates it went back to the factory for some work. If you remove the grips, there should be a date stamp present. For example, something like 8.54 would indicate it was returned in August 1954. You may be able to read the SN written in pencil on the inside of the right grip.

It appears the right side of the frame has a four line stamp on it. The factory did this to many revolvers over the years until the practice was stopped by Roy Jinks. Mr Jinks went on to become the factory historian.

.32-20s are indeed fun guns. I have had at least one since 1975, revolvers and rifles alike.
