Some, but probably not as much as you might hope. The M&P revolvers were the most-manufactured revolvers of the first half of the 20th century -- about a million were made, and many survive. A modified M&P like yours, even if the finish remains in pretty good shape, will be worth less than an untouched version. Depending on where you tried to sell it, you might get from $250 to 300 for yours.
The stocks look to be in great shape. They are probably worth over a hundred by themselves. Check inside the right panel to see if it has the same serial number that you see on the main components of the revolver. They may or may not be original to the revolver, but they are correct for the mid-40s period of the gun.
The barrel was undoubtedly six inches in its original length. When it was shortened it lost its original front blade and the sight you have now was welded to the barrel as a replacement.
