Pictures would help, along with more information, such as caliber. I don't remember ever seeing anything like an IV or 1V. Is that only on the cylinder? How about the SN on the bottom of the barrel? Is there a SN stamped inside the right grip panel (assuming smooth grips)? What is the rest of the SN? IF it is a V-model, the 6" barrel would suggest the British version (.38/200) in .38 S&W (that should be stamped on the side of the barrel). If nickeled, there is an extremely high probability the plating was NOT done by S&W.
