Welcome to the Forum
A Smith & Wesson model 25 is a carbon steel firearm, it's stainless steel brother is called the model 625 and it's alloy framed brother would be the model 325. However most Smith & Wesson rules have exceptions so there are two variations of alloy framed revolvers that are model 625s, one in 45ACP and one in 45LC both with 2" barrels
The Lew Horton Model 25s would be finished in blue or nickel. These was no stainless 3" 45ACP revolver produced on the modern 4 screw square butt frames by Smith & Wesson.
The model 27s were done 350 blue and 250 nickel. Since your number is 255 I am gouing to guess the same quantities were done for the model 25s.
