Nothing to add on ship date, but it looks like you have a winner there. The I-frame was the purpose-built 32 platform, so yours should be the perfect revolver for carrying the 32 S&W L round from box to firing the shot to hitting the target! The flat latch adds to its collector interest if not to its utility. I would be very conservative cleaning those stocks and monograms as they have patina to match the rest of the gun, which was apparently used but not abused. JMHO, of course, and YMMV.
