Well I may be wrong but the trade mark looks odd to me and no where on the gun does it actually say Smith & Wesson. I have a fair number of old S&W K frames and all actually say Smith & Wesson on them. My oldest is #149660 and has the Cartouche and the Smith Wesson name and patent dates on the right side of the barrel.
Give it up! The OPs revolver is a REAL S&W, not a Spanish copy. Roll-mark dies wear and chip and can be otherwise damaged resulting in unusual changes in markings. The S&W Logo is simply "tired" as a result of the finish wear from rust over the many years.
I, too, own numerous old S&W revolvers in both .32-20 and .38 Special and made anywhere from 1905 to the 1950s. There are minor marking differences on a few of them.
I also own an OJANGUREN Y VIDOSA made Spanish copy marked .32-20. There are many very subtle differences between the real S&Ws and the Spanish guns that make the differences extremely obvious if you now what they are! OPs gun has none of these typical differences that the Spanish guns do!
