Nope....
The second revolver is a
Regulation Police model chambered in .32 S&W Long.
The one in question is a .32 WCF (Winchester Center Fire) which is an entirely different cartridge. In this case it is a .
32-20; 1905 Hand Ejector, 4th Change. It was also known as the
.32-20 Military & Police model.
The 4th Change version was made between 1915 and 1940, within a serial number range running from 65,701 to 144,684. Your gun, #107,114 was likely made during the 1920's. The serial number was stamped on the butt, rear cylinder face, and on the bottom of the barrel above the ejector rod. an assembly number was stamped on the frame inside the yoke cutout, and on the yoke itself. The "yoke" is the part that the cylinder swings out on.
Any numbers other then the serial and assembly numbers were likely stamped on the revolver after it left the factory.
The patent dates at this time ended with: Dec. 29, 1914 (as you know) and this further identifies your revolver. Standard barrel lengths, measured from the cylinder face to the muzzle, were 4, 5 and 6 inches. Standard finishes were blue or nickel plate. Both round and square butt styles were made, but the round butt usually featured black hard-rubber stocks, where the square butt came with checkered walnut ones.
Since this gun has been handeled down through the family I suggest you get it "lettered." To do so you need a snapshot of the gun, a full description, and a check in the amount of $30.00 made out to Smith & Wesson. Thereafter their in-house historian, Roy G. Jinks, will research that particular gun by going back through the old records - which is not an easy task. Then you will receive an official letter from Smith & Weson, with a general overview of the model, followed with a full description of the gun when it left that factory, the date it was shipped, and to what dealer or distributor.
