That looks like a semi-target revolver -- no adjustable rear sight, but a bead front sight paired up with two-screw extension stocks. Interesting gun, and appealing.
The serial number is 9854x. For some unknown reason the photo does show something on the top of the front sight but actually there isn't. It's an ordinary half moon sight.

The stocks fit the round butt grip frame exact and appear to have been on the gun since new as the bluing is perfect on the base and the backstrap of the grip frame where the stocks cover. Gives an idea of what the gun looked like at the beginning.

It's a nice gun to shoot, but have only shot S&W shorts, but is marked for S&W Long.
