What I can tell you first off is that by measuring from the front of the cylinder, your barrel is probably a six incher. I don't have my resources handy, but the gun was likely shipped in the 1910-'20 range as that's when that style of stocks were supplied. If those are the originals, the right stock may still have the serial number written on the inside of the panel in pencil.
 
The guys above have likely identified your handsome gun. It is a 32 WCF revolver - a target model - made perhaps in the 20's. Smith & Wesson quit making them after about 1930 but continued to catalogue them as they had made many of them, enough to last until around 1940. Ammo is available but very expensive. That one looks to be in nice shape - don't do anything other than oil it.
