Welcome to the Forum.

Sounds like you have a 1917 that has been fitted with an un-numbered, inspected, replacement barrel.

When Uncle Sam bought firearms, he also bought replacement parts that military armorers could install if needed.

Generally, if the S&W factory had replaced the barrel, it would have numbered the barrel to the frame and stamped both the barrel and the frame with a mark and a date on the gripframe.
