Joetad, welcome to the forum.

Can you check that serial number for us? Look also on the flat underside of the barrel and the rear face of the cylinder. The same number should be found there. Also, is the main serial number stamped on the forestrap of the grip frame, or on the bottom?

Pics would really help. Maybe I'm misremembering age-related characteristics, but I would not expect to see a large trademark on the sideplate of a gun from the mid-'teens (which is where the serial number 226xxx seems to point). Does your gun have the same type of two-screw square-butt stocks as Wraco's gun? If so, does your gun have an adjustable rear sight or just a groove in the frame? How long is the barrel, measured from the muzzle to the front of the cylinder?
