Guns on both sides of this number shipped in 1926. Patent dates have nothing to do with when the gun was manufactured.

Ohok any idea what it'd be worth?

Without being able to see the revolver, there is no way to get an accurate estimate of value. Having said that, any refinished gun has little collector value. Therefore, you have a nice shooter, which usually sells for $250 - $350. If it were refinished to a factory original standards, meaning perfect with no sign of being refinished, maybe up to another $100 adder.

$300-$500 if in original good used condition. You said it is "completely restored" depends on what was done and who did the restoration. pics would be the best though

The model name is .32-20 Hand Ejector Model of 1905-4th Change. Model numbers didn't come into being until 1957, long after this model had been discontinued (1940). It has also been called the Military & Police-Winchester, as the .32-20 started out as the .32 WCF (Winchester Central Fire).

It looks like your revolver has a Parkerized finish. It is also wearing post 1968 Magna grips.

The stocks are not original. They should be diamond walnut round top with no medallions. It looks parkerized to me. If the finish is matte black, you have a pretty unappealing revolver there. Not much that can be done to bring it back to an original quality, so it is a utility shooter in my opinion, but still in the range I stated above. What you have going for you is these are great shooters and fun at the range.

Prior to the ammo hoarders upsetting the supply/demand balance, you could buy 32-20 from almost all major manufacturers through any online ammo source. The last box I ran across last weekend was priced at $49.00. It is wise to reload this round, buy the brass and bullets and you can reload for well under $10.00 a box. This is one of the easiest calibers to reload, so if you buy ammo off the store shelf, keep the brass and invest in a $30 set of Lee Pistol Dies. The bullet is .312" and normal weight is anywhere from 90 grains to 115 grains.
