Welcome to the Forum.
I'd guess (and it's only a GUESS) that an individual did not order a one-off "custom" from the factory. Maybe ordered from a retailer or mail order place back in those times but ..... from S&W directly ..... doubt it.
Like others have said, maybe S&W made many hundreds or thousands for a country or an agency in a land far far away ..... not impossible at all.
