Welcome. It is either a .38 S & W caliber British service revolver (commonly 5" barreled), or a 4" US military contract gun in .38 Special. What is the barrel length from cylinder face to muzzle? If it is 5" it is a replacement; the gun's serial number should be stamped on the barrel flat above the ejector rod.
In either case, it has been refinished, as these came in Black Magic, similar to Parkerizing. Do you have photos? Hope this is helpful.
