This is a S&W MP or Military and Police which became the Victory Model after Ser # 999,999 ( I'm betting you have one too many digits in your ser. # ) and is now the model 10. It is built on thier "K" frame. I would say your gun was built in late '41 or very early '42. Most of these have 5-inch bbls , but your early one could have a six-inch or , rarely , a 4-inch. With no british marks , this is one that stayed here .

Curiously enough, Smith & Wesson M&P revolvers remained in the US Army inventory until the 1960s. Here I am referring to the 5-inch barrel version chambered in .38/200, which the manual also referred to as ".38 regular." The same manual also listed about six or eight other revolvers, both Colt and S&W, all with either 4-inch or 2-inch barrels, all in .38 special. They also distinguished between the long action S&W and the newer short action S&W. I was even more surprised to see a photo somewhere (I think maybe in the book about US Army uniforms of the Cold War) of a group of trainees shooting what could only be these revolvers, probably around 1970, maybe later. M1 rifles and BARs continued in use in the National Guard into the 1970s but I don't know who may have used these revovlers.

The later .38 special FMJ ammunition was probably no more powerful than .38 S&W.
