The serial number should also be stamped on the cylinder above the ejector star and under the barrel in the ejector rod well. From the serial, it looks to be a 1903 .32 Hand Ejector 3rd Model. Congratulations.

It appears to have been manufactured in the 1930s. Some one with a Standard Catalog will come along and give you a more precise dating.

BTW, the calibre is .32 S&W Long Cartridge (CTG).

More like 1925-1926. The I-frame serial numbers were at a little over 500000 as the '30s began.

Those are great little shooters; you will love it.
