ETMJR:
From your description and the Victory Model Database I can estimate for you that your revolver likely shipped from the factory in the April-May, 1943 time frame. Its probable shipping destination was the Hartford Ordnance Depot in Springfield, Mass.
You mentioned your plan to obtain a letter from the S&WHF. I hope that when you receive it that you will post the details back here.
HTH.
