pictures are going to be needed to correctly identify this revolver. if you mean only one patent date is found on the bottom of the butt (8-25-96) it was manufactured between 1911 and about 1913. if that is only one of the patent dates you can make out it could be manufactured anywhere between 1897 and 1913. the placement of the serial number given is important (where it is found). the main serial number location has been the left side of the grip frame (under the grips) since 1896.

the finish is nickel.

The number is found on the bottom of the trigger guard, did not see any other markings except for the pat aug 25 96

Then pull the grips and see if there is a serial number on the left grip frame!
