Can someone please help me with manufacturing date and some info about this revolver?

It appears to be a WW2 era Victory revolver. I can make out some proof marks done when it was released from British service. They were originally chambered in 38 S&W , but many were reamed to accept 38 specials

Looks like a 5" barreled BSR. If there is a V under the lanyard loop prob was shipped in the first half of 1944. I have one that shipped 8/1944. It ended up being used after the war in Hesse, Germany.

Thank you very much for the replies, I will look for the V when I receive the weapon.
Is there specific things I can look at to confirm the dates? I know nothing about these revolvers.

Is it a model 10?

Assuming it's a Victory (which I'm sure it is), the date of manufacture can be estimated from the serial number... sometime during the mid-to-latter part of WWII.

Is it a model 10?

It is similar (same K-Frame, etc.) but it pre-dates the Model 10.
