I thought I replied but it seems to have gotten lost.
Anyway, the revolver appears to be a .32 Hand Ejector, Model of 1903, Fifth Change, made about 1912. The grips are not original and the material cannot be determined without close examination. It might be ivory, but with all the laws about elephant ivory today, it might be better if it were not. Very good copies of the original grips are available, made of plastic and much less likely to break than the old hard rubber ("gutta percha").
The pictures are very poor, but there also appears to be some problem with the extractor rod, but it may only need adjustment. The Fifth Change included a hammer block, but not a very positive one, so I don't consider it advisable to carry that gun with a round under the hammer. The rust and overall appearance suggest that it might have been subjected to a poor quality refinish. No real evaluation is possible without better pictures.
A factory letter is available for most S&W's of that era, but it will only tell you where the factory shipped the gun, usually a distributor, and its original features (blue, nickel, engraved, etc.). Only very rarely will the actual individual purchaser be available.
