According to the SCSW 4th edition, it was made 1910-1917. I can't help more than that, since I don't have anything close for comparison.
Someone with a lot more knowledge will be along soon.

notsofast has an old hand ejector in which some pictures would help but the book says it's a .32 hand ejector 5th change from between 1910-1917 as somebody already said.

#222xxx is from the summer of 1915 as near as can be determined w/o an historical letter.

sn# 222xxx

On my list are 2204xx which shipped in 11/14 and 2215xx which shipped in 5/15. It's fairly certain yours shipped sometime in 1915. That is about as close as you are going to get without paying $75 for a letter.
