Default Pre- Model 40, ship date?

A Pre-Model 40 Centennial, .38 special, (no model # stamped) "lemon squeezer", 4 screw, flat latch, pinned bbl, smooth trigger, with Spegel boot grips just adopted me. Its not "purist collectible" as appears it was plated in chrome or nickel w/o orig grips or box, but it looks like it was done yesterday, no cylinder drag lines, 98%(but not original finish-I assumed) ...so maybe chrome (bright matte finish)?
(No factory "N" stamps). looks like someone wanted a top shelf weatherproof pocket gun before stainless. Ser #10,08X (early 50's?).
Any idea when this shipped? I'll letter it just because it deserves one.
Thanks,
Mike
