You appear to have a Model 1905 or Military & Police model from probably about 1914/15. The caliber .32 WCF is also known as .32 Winchester (earlier) and .32-20 (later, up to nowadays).

From your photo, which is a bit blurry, the trigger and hammer of your gun seem to be black/blued, which indicates it has been refinished at some point as this was not done originally at the factory.

Below a typical catalog from 1915. Note that they used an old illustration; your gun's stocks should have a gold-colored medallion insert at the top (if they should be the original ones).

The closest .32-20 M&Ps on my list are 686xx which shipped in 4/1916 and 669xx which shipped in 1/1915. The .32 WCF barrel caliber stamping was used during the 1914-1922 period. It also appears to me that yours has been re-blued.
