It has ten lines on the backstrap, sight and barrel. It appears to be a 28 frame by the notches at the connection to the barrel.

Welcome to the Forum.
Your revolver has been refinished. Look at the fit of the side plate. You should barely be able to see the seam.
It is very doubtful your M28 was factory nickel. The rear sight has also been replaced. Factory M28 rear sights are smooth, not grooved.
