If you reply with serial number (stamped on butt), any other markings such as caliber, and additional photos detailing condition, we can help you out with an approximate ship-date and some thoughts on value.
It’s a 38 special #480758
It is a .38 Military & Police model from about 1925.
The stocks are from a gun made after World War II (not original to the gun).

Small trademark on the left side, probably close to 100.
Cool old gat. Congrats on a nice family heirloom. Considering its age it is in decent condition. Condolences on the loss of your grandfather.

.38 Special Military & Police Model of 1905 4th Change, made/shipped 1924-25. Incorrect stocks (grips) as has been noted. Assuming overall condition is as pictured, it's probably worth +/- $250.
Turn line on cylinder almost non existent, bet the action is like new.
