Thanks James. I apologize for the breach of protocol and lack of manners. I'm new to this and any forums - just sounded like a group of guys that knew alot about SW revolvers so I jumped in.
Thanks for the reply. Ill find the right place for my questions but so you'll know, there are no letters with any of the numbers. The 712706 is found on the butt and on the end of the cylinder.

Not a problem as that is how we learn. Since there is no K your gun is a .38 Military and Police model 1905 4th change made between 1915 and 1942. Based on the serial number I would say 1940 or 1941. Post war these guns will have an S prefix until 1948 when the C prefix started and ran to about 1967 when the D prefix began. These guns became the Model 10 around 1957 and were probably the most produced S&W of all time and used by almost every major police force in the world.
