I like the old 32 HEs. Your left butt frame had what looks like a 5.20 stamped on it, and was returned to the factory in May, 1920. Technically, your revolver is not an antique, since that designation is determined by guns manufactured before 1899.

You do have a nice "vintage" S&W that will clean up with the use of a good quality polish. Many use a product called Flitz, but I prefer Meguires Scratch 2.0 polish. Give it a coat of oil or wax after done and you will be amazed how nice it will look.

I would also check ebay for a set of nice original hard rubber stocks for an I frame revolver to replace your damaged non-factory pearls when taking your gun to the range.
