1894 .32WS Owner looking for info...

Thanks in advance for any feedback you guys give me.
I own a Model 1894 in .32WS with serial number of 862XXX which I believe puts its manufacture date somewhere around 1917-1919. I've had a local gun shop look at it and tell me they didn't make that caliber in those years and that it was much newer than I thought.
I still believe I'm correct and he was misinformed but regardless that is why I'm here looking for info. I also think I may have a "safe ring gun" except that the ring is missing and has a large flat head screw where I believe the ring would belong, but how do I verify that?
I also don't believe I have factory iron sights tho the one that is on it does appear to be pretty old as well and is made by "Redfield". Again thanks for your time and any feedback will be appreciated....Thanks!
