I thought about suggesting that you have it round-butted. It does have a certain cool look in the stock SB configuration, but an older snubby like this with round butt and service (not magna) grips has a cool look also.
You didn't post the s/n but it looks to my untrained eye like it has the short-action hammer, which should make it a 1948 or later gun. SCSW says the RB variation became available in 1947, so a conversion to RB would not be unauthentic.
Be sure and post photos when you get her done up.
