I could tell the gun was a M&P (likely pre war) from the first 2 photos. The cylinder was too small to be a N frame. Also, the grips are pre war diamond magnas in case anyone didn't notice.

I would say a 1905 M&P 4th change (5 screw) from the late 1920s - early 1930s, with incorrect grips and probably refinished.
AFAIK those grips were optional at the time, of course rare on fixed sight M&Ps, but still possible.

Ironic that a set of grips like that has to end up on such a gun.
