Welcome to the forums from the Wiregrass! Does the ejector rod have a front locking mount under the barrel? The reason I ask is because it's in the serial number range for British service revolvers which chambered for 38 S&W not 38 Special. After the war, a lot were modified cutting off the barrel and the front under lug where the ejector Rod docks. It's possible that your gun is like that. A picture would help.

No it does not have a under lug.

Then it's a modified British service revolver that was originally chambered for 38 S&W.
