It would be a S&W .38 Military and Police (M&P) model from about 1928. You'd have to get a factory letter to establish the exact shipping date, but 1928 will be close enough for most purposes. The hammer looks a little odd.

Welcome to the forums from the Wiregrass! Your gun appears to be an S&W M&P model 1905 4th change. It was made between 1921 and 1928. Someone will come along and give you a better date.

You might check to see if there any "N" stampings on the grip frame or on the rear face of the cylinder. S&W did not plate hammers, triggers, or extractor spiders.

That serial number under the barrel looks phony. I'm sure the gun was refinished, and probably was re-stamped. The number on the butt, I hope, is better.
