Mike is correct. that's not a Model 1899 ( Note the barrel lug, which is not on the Model 1899). SCSW, 3rd edit., calls this the .38 Hand Ejector, third model M&P. There are no references in my files of this model with a ".38 S&W Mil." barrel stamping, so I can only conclude that a workman used an incorrect stamp the day he stamped this barrel, or perhaps the regular die stamp was broken that day.
