Smith And Wesson 32 Long Ctg Serial Number Lookup
Those pictures confirm it as a .32 Hand Ejector, third model, from the early 1920s.
You can order a factory letter for $50. For that you get some general history on the model and a specific shipping date and destination for your actual gun. Usually the destination is a regional or local distributor, but sometimes you will find a gun shipped to a specific store or individual. You can get a request form for a letter from the 'Downloads' link in the menu bars at the top of this page.
If you want to replace those broken grips, you can sometimes find old grip sets available in the classifieds on this forum, or even on Ebay. You are looking for hard rubber round butt I-frame grips. They should be black. If the ones you see offered are brown or tan, they have lost some of their color through sun fading or washing.
I can't tell from the photos -- are the trigger and hammer nickeled, or are they sort of drab with maybe some ghost case-coloring left on them? Case hardening leaves some brown and pale blue swirls on carbon steel, and that's how S&W shipped all their guns. They never nickeled or blued their hammers and triggers; if you see nickel on those parts, the gun has been refinished.
