First, a warm welcome to you, to one of the very best such forums on the Internet today. Many very helpful folks here and a great place to learn and to share.
Others with far greater knowledge will be along soon*, but looks like a Model of 1905 military and police, 4th change, possibly 1918-1919.
Hope you will stay around and enjoy the camaraderie! congratulations on having such a wonderful family heirloom. It does look as though the cylinder might possibly have had a bit of a re-blue at some point. You may want to check the serial number not only on the butt, but underneath the barrel, and on the cylinder especially.
* And, a few minutes ahead of my short post, a real expert did appear!
