As others have said, this is not a pre-1945 revolver. Yours most likely shipped from the factory in November, 1947. It is near the end of the S prefix revolvers; manufacture stopped in about the first quarter of 1948, at serial number S999999.

I have located several 2" examples in the S948xxx range and more in the S953xxx - S954xxx ranges. All of those so far reported had the square butt. Yours is round. Cool!
