It is a handgun, with printing on the barrell "92 S&W CTCE" It is a six shot , octagon barrel, no thumb grip on hammer(must pull trigger to fire). To load, a pin is removed from the front, just under the barrell, and the chamber falls out. Plastic grips screwed onto the metal frame with one screw. I recently inherited this weapon from my Grandfather.

Are you sure it is a "92 S&W?" Could it be a .32 S & W? Sounds like an old .32 caliber 'spurless' Smith & Wesson double-action only 'pocket' revolver.
It is difficult to appraise a firearm without seeing it. Does it still shoot? Is the barrel pitted? Has it been refinished, or is it original? Was it owned by a famous lawman or notorious personage? How low is the serial number?
Best case scenario: Like new in box, fully functional, low (four digit or less) serial number: High side: $400. Low: $150.
Probable scenario: Decent shape, not refinished, functional: High side $150; Low: $75.
Of course, if it was once owned by Clyde, of Bonnie & Clyde fame, all bets are off. To a collector of these early revolvers (I'm assuming it is a revolver since you said octagon barrel) it could be as much as two or two-hundred-fifty.
Final note: These guns are known as 'spurless hammer type;' that is what you mean (I presume), when you say no 'thumb-grip'.
Sounds like you have a nice gun. Why don't you say its worth a couple of hundred for insurance purposes and just hold on to it.

Sounds like an inexpensive handgun from the late 19th Century or early 20th Century.
I'd need a photo to have a chance identifying the pistol, The general description you gave could fit so many different revolvers. Value on these old guns tend to run from low to very low. It's sentimental value will far outstrip it's monetary value in any event,
BTW, look close, I believe you will see that it is a .32 S&W, not a ".92 S&W".
