You do indeed have a revolver made in 1903. It is a Model of 1902, also referred to as the .38 M&P 2nd Model. It can’t be in .38 S&W, has to be Special if it’s a .38. The serial puts it just before the 1st Change happened at 33803.
As was mentioned, it was completely re-blued, and the grips are likely Franzite or a similar mid-20th century imitation stag. This type which converted a round butt to a square butt grip shape was fairly popular.
