Default S&W 1905 .38 Special 4th change Target

Greetings,
I acquired this .38 over the weekend. Its condition is pretty good with one exception. Over the course of its life it appears to have been dropped on the cylinder and denting one chamber inward. A previous owner then made the regrettable decision to ream the effected chamber. The serial on the cylinder matches the gun itself which is 3093XX. From my research, I believe that serial number gives this .38 a born on date in 1919. I'm not sure but suspect that it's been refinished at some point. What is the best course of action for my cylinder issue?
Thanks,
Ryan

Welcome from Texas Ryan. Great forum for all things S&W, have fun, learn lots, share what you know.

If you have not done so, you should post this in the older revolver section or gunsmithing section. Best of luck.
