No, but is it possible the frame was from a batch that was originally intended to be, and stamped with the "REG" letters, but eventually completed as a non REG gun?

Sounds like a good question for the http://smith-wessonforum.com/swca-questions-roy-jinks/ section.
No, but I have a non-registered magnum that according to Roy's letter was assigned a REG number but the program was cancelled before the gun shipped so the REG number was never stamped. He said that was the first time he had encountered that situation so I suspect there aren't many with just REG stamped either.

Any thing is possible with Smith & Wesson. From what I gather they never threw any parts away.
410:
Is that your gun? Or just a photo of someone else's gun? It could be that someone photoshopped out the number, thinking they were making it more private to share...
Example...
Either way, I would love to see some more photos and learn a bit more about that gun.

More to RKmesa's questions, what's the serial number of the gun? The barrel serial number looks like 59103 or 69103 to me, neither one of which is in the NRM range.
60108, 1939 shipped and yes this is mine and no photo shop action here !
The revolver is refinished though which stings a bit

Makes sense then, right during the RM to NRM transition period.
Based on the serial number (and the assembly number), the Magnum is a NRM with REG stamped in the yoke cut. Based on S&W's manufacturing practices, the existence of this revolver and probably a few more like it is not all that surprising. Like what was stated in post #5, S&W never through anything away they could use.

That is a very fun gun. Thanks for sharing a few more photos. I also love the humpback hammer on it.
I was going to say I didn't think the hammer stung at all.
I like the sights too.
