Nice gun, decent price.
The gun is from about 1919/20; the stocks are from a gun that shipped in 1941. These are referred to as service stocks rather than magnas. Magnas have an upward sweep that overlies part of the frame on the left side and sideplate on the right. Magna stocks cover the rearmost screw of a sideplate, but leave the other three exposed.
That gun will be fun to shoot. Standard .38 Special ammo will be fine, or lower-pressure wadcutter match cartridges. Avoid +P ammo. Post a range report when you can!
