About 1924/25.
That particular model is called the .32 Regulation Police. It was introduced in 1917 as a square-butt version of the round-butt .32 Hand Ejector that was first produced about 20 years earlier.
Good looking specimen.

Thanks!
I sent an E-Mail to S&W but I haven't received a response yet.

That's because they don't recognize the State of Franklin!
OP
Somebody at Smith & Wesson must have figured out that "Franklin" was an unrecognized, autonomous "territory" located in what is today eastern Tennessee. Thank you Smith & Wesson!
Anyway, my .32 Regulation Police revolver was manufactured in 1924. David Wilson was absolutely correct!
The official Franklin flag 1784 to 1788.
