    since you did not say how many cartridges the cylinder held i can't tell you if this is a large are small frame. but there were two versions of this model. manufactrued from about 1921 until 1941 or so. the main serial number location is on the left side of the grip strap. this is the location of the letter code prefix to the serial number. A if a small frame and C or F if a large frame. if the trigger return spring sometime works and some time doesn't it might need a goodly aomunt of lubricating oil to clean out the gunk. replacing the the trigger return spring is not hard. double check the barrel length from muzzle to front of cylinder.
