Hi, I'm new here. It is a six round revolver, I think chambered with 0.38. The only stamping that is on it is:

On the heel of the grip: 028345
On the barrels base, beneath: 305
On the base of the trigger: b 5 or maybe 6 5.
Can you know the manufacturing date, more or less?
Thanks a lot!

Sorry. That is no Smith and Wesson.
This is probably a Spanish Hermanos or Orbea revolver.

Thuer is right on. It's a Spanish copy of a M1905 M&P. From the monogram on the grips I would say it's a Hermanos.

Evyatar, Welcome to this Forum! You had this same question on another Forum earliar, and the answer is the same. The revolver is a Spanish copy of a S&W, made by one of the many Spanish gun makers in the Eibar area of Spain, circa 1910- 1940. Your pictures are much better than on the other Forum, so it helps to further confirm the gun is Spanish made. I have doubts that the first digit of the serial number is a zero. It appears more like a gouge in the metal.

I forgot to add that the grip monogram is probably that of Guiasola Hermanos y Cia of Eibar. That means "Guiasola Brothers Company" in English.

Based on my old references the monogram on the grips was used by Orbea Hermanos of Eibar, Spain. They closed around the time of the Spanish Civil War, as did many of their firearm manufacturers.
