You have a Style 112, the second cheapest Washburn made at the time, which was manufactured in the 1897-1905 era. A 227K serial number would imply that it was made around 1903/04.

Welcome to the forum. If it was a solid top and lam back and sides then the "typical" Wasburn designation would be "D21S". W/O the S suffix then it typically means all lam. All solid, as TY...
