What makes you think the revolver is refinished? Or at least refinished outside of the factory?

Well I might learn something here. The refinish was an assumption on my part based solely on its appearance to my inexpert eye. After doing a bit more reading it seems this might be factory work. There is a diamond and an “S” stamped on the barrel flat (photo below) and there is an “R-S” in a rectangle on the grip frame.

Any additional information would be appreciated.
