Bullit Bill, welcome to the forum. The Registered Magnums have a registration stamp on the frame that you can see when the cylinder yoke has been opened, like Reg 1234. This is separate from the gun's serial number, which is part of the regular prewar N-frame serial number sequence. If you search the forum archives for "Registered Magnum," you will find a bunch of posts telling you scads about them. This model is perhaps the model most sought by collectors (though I don't have one yet and personally prefer other models.)
RMs will be found with serial numbers from (roughly) 45700 to 60000 -- but not every one of those will be a registered magnum.
