Default Model 1 1/2 Identification???

Hello out there,
I have come across a .32 rimfire Model 1 1/2 that I can not qualify. It has a serial number of #22xxx. It has the square butt and non-fluted cylinder of the first issue but the cylinder stop is on the topstrap like the second issue. Also, it has a 6 inch barrel and the opener is the type found on the second issue with the two lugs on either side of the frame in front of the triggerguard. It seems to have ivory grips or some other material that is that color. Can anyone out there help with this? Any time spent in responding is appreciated in advance.
Thnak you,
Pete

Pete - I agree with Pace, it almost has to be a Model 2, 6 shooter maybe with ivory stocks. The picture below shows some 32 Tip-ups and maybe you can pick out your revolver from the picture. The top row are a couple of 22 Model 1s, the second row are Model 2s, 6" and the third row are Model 2s, 5" barrels. The rest of the rows are Model 1 1/2, First Issues with square butt and Model 1 1/2, Second Issues with round butts.
